what else might she like? she also has a water bottle and hay basket.

Answer 1

rolls and tubes and those hempy thingies that they can push around. get a treat-ka-bob and put chew toys on it- he'll have fun when he eats it- it also jingles.

Answer 2

Our guinea pig has a ball with a bell inside. He loves it, we also put the empty toilet paper roll in his cage, he loves that too.

Answer 3

Good quality timothy hay is the most important thing you can give to your guinea pig.along with fresh veggies and pellets.Forget the toys.Watch the plastic house.They tend to chew on it and swallow the plastic pieces.I would throw it out as it could kill them.

Answer 4

Like someone suggested, I've heard guinea pigs love the whole bell in a ball thing.  Toilet paper and paper towel tubes work well, too.  You can always buy a bird toy such as this:

And hang it from her cage.  It'll be a good way to keep her teeth trim and she'll like the noise.

Other than that, you can always buy a brush and brush her.  Some piggies love it, while others..not so much.

Other things include little chew things it could toss around such as:

All these items were found on the same PetsMart website you provided.  All items were found under Bird > Toys and Small Animal > Toys.

I hope I helped!!

Answer 5

well guinea pigs luv hiding so u can put a small paper bage in its cage. i did that with my guinea pig and she luvs hiding there.haha. idk about urs but mine also luvs blankets so i put a really small blanket in their and she luvs sleeping in it[=

Answer 6

Try putting her hay in the toilet paper tubes or inside a brown paper lunch bag. Cardboard boxes also make great things to jump on and hide in. All of these are safe for piggies to chew as well. First and foremost though, I would suggest a larger cage. That one is WAY too small for guinea pigs. Unlike mice, hamsters, etc., they need plenty of square footage to run. If you cannot afford a bigger cage right now, then you need to get a kiddie pool or build a playpen for her to run and make sure she gets plenty of floor time for exercise. That will be better than any toy.

Here are some other ideas that require a little more work:

Answer 7

well since guinea pigs are social it probably needs a friend. you could get another guinea pig, or you could get a reptile, the reptiles are cold blooded and need the warmth of a mammal to survive. heat lamps work ok for reptiles but not only is it more energy efficient (you don't need to waste electricity powering a heat lamp)  to have them share cages but they get comfort and friendship out of it.
