I was wondering if it's ok to put a small stuffed animal in the guinea pig house with them.

It should be fine, as long as there are no loose strands that they can chew on. I think someone on here bought a stuffed rat from Ikea

Yes. Some pigs like to use them as pillows and will drag the around the cage; just be sure to cut the tags off before you put them in the cage. If they start chewing and unraveling the toy though, I'd take it away so they don't choke on a loose thread.

I put some in for my pigs and they just ignored them completely :p But that's just how mine roll.

My girl loves her stuffed rat. Check her out in the valentines day photo of the wheek contest. It's a cat toy that came with a little catnip. Gave the catnip to my friend and kept the rat.

As of right now one of my girls Hershey is in a relationship with her stuffed animal (Flammy the flamingo) haha as long as nothing can be eaten and your willing to let it get pooped on I think its ok.

I use plush dog toys from The Reject Shop (similar to Dollar Tree), they are cheap ($2 or $2 apiece) can be thrown in the wash and if they fall apart they don't cost a lot to replace.

Yes. As long as the eyes are sewn and not buttons. You also must check for tags and loose string. Hope this helped!!
