It's probably a bad idea. They can get fibers stuck in their throat and choke. If you want to put fabric in your piggies' cage, use fleece.

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.

Guinea Pigs chew on things in their enclosure because it's their own way of keeping their teeth in good condition and to wear them down so they don't become overgrown. Guinea Pigs teeth are "Open Rooted", this means that they are forever growing. I suggest that you buy a special "chewing" block. Whether it be a small piece of untreated wood, or a solid vitamin block, it's a good way to make sure you don't have an unexpected need to visit the Vet to have their teeth trimmed.
