Guinea pigs are rodents and being so, their teeth are continually growing. Because of this fact it is important to provide some type of chewing block for your guinea pig at all times (these can be purchased at pet stores, be careful not to use just any piece of wood from your garden because some types might be poisonous or have pesticide residue on them). If your guinea pig has not been provided adequate means for wearing down their teeth, and they have grown too long, you can carefully file them down with a metal file.

What does it mean when a guinea pig chews if it's not eating?
Guinea pigs that don't eat could indicate a problem with their teeth. A guinea pig's teeth constantly grow throughout their entire lives and if they do not have access to hard foods to nibble on their teeth will overgrow. It is easy to check the front teeth (the incisors). A guinea pig with over grown teeth will need to be taken to a rodent friendly vet or rodentologist that can trim the teeth without using anesthetic. Guinea pigs have no nerve endings in their teeth so having them trimmed doesn't hurt them. The Guinea Pig Care 4 Kids program has everything a child (and adult) will ever need to know about caring for their guinea pig.
