I'm not sure if this is the right category to put this under, but I need some help with my toy problem. My little guinea pig has had the same toys since we got him, which was almost 3 years ago. I've got some new chews and a new bowl, but that's it. I would like to get some new toys for him. Does anyone have any ideas for CHEAP, COLORFUL toys that are safe for guinea pigs, or does anyone have any ideas for DIY, COLORFUL toys??? Please help. My guinea pig is getting severely bored with his cage.

For me, my piggies were never much interested in convential "toys" so to speak. They get the happiest when I add things like tubes or new hidey places. It's not very colorful..but hay shoved in a clean empty toilet paper tube is a big hit. If you look online I know there are some tutorials to making fleece balls. Those look pretty fun :)

I gave mine a 12 pack soda can box the other day, I cut off the glued ends, they had a blast playing chase through the "tunnel" and chewing on it. Eventually they collapsed it and peed on it so I took it out, but it did relieve their boredom that day.

When I empty my glove boxes at work I take them home and they have fun with them. I also get the HUGE TP rolls from work that are heavy duty and big ended, they love them. Mine don't like conventional toys either. They love when I change up their cage after every cleaning. How big is your cage?

So...I made one of those fleece poof balls I keep seeing online since I suggested it to you. My boys had a blast with it for a while, it was pretty funny. They kept pushing it all over the cage with their noses and popcorning on it lol

I saw a willow ball at the petstore for about $2 that they could chew on and roll around. My pigs loved it. And pretty much anything cardboard. I got a pair of converse at Christmas and the pigs got the box. It was their favorite toy ever! (I cut the glue stuff off and turned it into a tunnel)
