It depends what kind of cardboard. It shouldn't have any dyes in it, so like a toilet paper roll, umm im preety sure no corrogated cardboard either but not 100%..pretty much your thin, basic brown cardboard is fine. Paper bags are god too, as well as newspaper. hope this helps :)

News paper isn't good for guinea pigs because of the ink in it.

guinea pigs are allowed to chew wooden objects or cardboard or paper things. They tend to chew anything in their site so be extra careful they arent near any electrical wires that can harm them!

How do you keep your guinea pigs from chewing their ramp?

Guinea pigs are made to chew on things. They need wood and stuff in there cage 24/7 so they can chew it and keep their teeth down. If you have a wooden ramp then that is why it is chewing it. They need to chew on wood all the time, and wooden toys need to always be in there cage. Your guinea pig is chewing on the wooden ramp because that is what it is supposed to do. If you do not want it to chew on the ramp, then go get a plastic ramp because they will not chew on that. I have two guinea pigs, so if you need any other questions please feel free to ask. actually my pigs have a plastic ramp and i had to take it away because it was half gone.
