Will it harm my guinea pigs if they...

Question

chew on a cardboard shoebox that has colour and is not plain?

Answer 1

no it will not harm them they will be fine dont worry about it its just a natural instict to chew on random things (;

Answer 2

I wouldn't give it to your piggy.  Give them cardboard from toilet paper or paper towels.

Answer 3

Most Likely.

Anything and most things with ink can harm them. I would remove it promptly

Answer 4

I don't know if it would actually harm them or not, but to be on the safe side, you should just use the cardboard tube inside of a toilet paper roll or a paper towel roll. At least that's what I used to do...

Answer 5

I am not so sure about that, but you don't want to take any chances.  You never know what could happen.  I would ask my vet if it's OK, but until then, I would stick with plain cardboard.

Answer 6

A lot of shoeboxes have a shiny coating on them that could be very harmful to them. Some plain cardboard from a storage box or something would be a better bet, they do love chewing on cardboard!
