How do I make a Guinea pig toy?

Question

My guinea pig is bored most of the day. She sits in one corner And stares but sometimes she eating away at her hay. Even when i play with her shes still bored. Yesterday i made her a play pen that wa sbig enough for me to sit in it. she was afraid but then she went up to me and sterted nibbling my pants. but all she did was run aroung in circles and hiding behing the stuff i put in! i know that shes shy but shes bored! also she poops alot is that bad? So can you suggest how to make a guinea pig toy. But remember that she's at a young age like about 7-10 weeks i think but she may be older. I've had her for 1 month and shes really bored.

Answer 1

That is what pigs do, they run around and hide in stuff. Give them something to run through, like tunnels, tubes. You can make these yourself or buy them. I have one "crinkly" one that makes noise when they run through it, I have one that is just a piece of some kind of tube I got at home depot. and then I make some out of old boxes or books or anything that they can run through they love.

My pigs play with toilet paper rolls but only at night when they think i'm not watching.

Probably you should get your pig a friend. Get the same s*x pig and make sure your cage is plenty big enough. Go to CavySpirit.com for how big it should be and plenty of other advice.

My pigs look bored all the time too, the way to tell if a pig is happy is when they popcorn. Its like popping straight into the air. This means they are happy.

Answer 2

I know this sounds crazy but buy bird toys!The ones with mirors and bells they love it!Also wind chimes work to I have found that most of my pigs don't chew they pull and like shiny things. But you also my consider getting her a playmate, them pigs love playing follow the leader!

Hope this helps

Good luck
