Chewing Never using Toys...

[sosilly451]

When I bought my guinea pigs, I were told they were sister. But I then learned they were infact brother and sister. So now I have them seperated, there cages sid by side. They both have plenty of toys and chew toys, but they never chew them.... -.- I fill them with hay, and food, and whatever, and not even a dent. Is this ok? I mean, shouldn't they be teething or something?!?!?(Their not babies though)

Mine don't chew things.

But be sure you've got a locked lid on the female's cage. A male can be very determined to get to a female in heat, and he may be able to squeeze through a lid on his own cage. But he can't lift a lid on the female's cage.

If they always have hay to eat, their teeth should be fine. The only "toys" mine play with are toilet paper rolls stuff with hay (they always have loose hay piles on their cage) and tunnels (they like pushing them around the cage as much as running through them).
