These are a few fun ways to play with your Guinea Pig:

Get him/her a playmate. Your Guinea Pig is going to get lonely until you get back from work, school or wherever you go during the day. A Guinea Pig friend of the same sex is ideal. Sometimes a Guinea Pig is not wanting to share their 'territory' with another Pig. In this case you could put up a divider in the cage, so they can see & talk to each other still.

Paper for your Guinea Pig to hide under and make tunnels with is great easy to so! Watch as they go around the cage under the paper and sit still as they hear you coming!

Cardboard box with holes for windows. Make sure that the box has the bottom ct out of it, so they don't soil it. The box is used by your Guinea Pigs to exercise...mine run around and around and jump up through the windows either side. Fantastic to watch!

A cardboard roll (old toilet tissue roll is great) and stuff it with Hay, they have great fun getting it out. Good for them too.

A small ball like a golf ball or a ping pong ball, is great fun too, as they push it around the cage.

A paper bag is great fun for your Guinea Pig to have some fun with too. If you crumple up paper into a ball they will have fun with that too.

Guinea Pigs love to chew, so a branch is a great idea to put in their cage – just make sure it's completely free of any harmful sprays.

A PVC piece of pipe for them to hide in and travel through, is great fun just make sure its all cleaned first before you put in in their cage.

You can get a grass bed for the Guinea Pig to play in which I've used and are great for my piggies that love to sit and chew it to pieces literally!!

You can buy a product made of sticks called 'Fiddlesticks' which my Guinea Pigs love to chew and hide behind or sort of under it! Hours of fun with this they have.

There is a 'Bridge' or a 'Log' made of Alfalfa and Honey, with is 100% edible which is awesome and my Guinea Pigs love too!

I have this 'Beware of Guinea Pig' sign, which although they cant play with it – it give me and my family and friends a laugh!!
