Guinea pigs should have things like empty toilet tubes and toys bought from pet shops (wooden blocks/sticks etc) to chew on in their cage. But if you let them they will chew everything they can.

1. The first thing your rabbit should always have available for chewing is hay--timothy, orchard grass, oat hay, alfalfa only for babies. Even if your rabbit doesn't like it at first, persist. It's crucial for health and the primary means for wearing down his constantly growing teeth.
2. Cardboard! Bunny safe, free, easy to get, and rabbits go nuts over it. And it actually helps in the digestion process. Just make sure no chemicals or detergents came in your cardboard (look in the paper towel, frozen food, and produce aisles when your local supermarket is restocking). You might find that you enjoy building little cities for your furry darling--he will certainly love ruling them even as he redecorates with his teeth.
3. But for the sheer pleasure of chewing, you can't beat willow baskets. Just make sure they are untreated (naked) willow. Seagrass is also easy to find. Rabbits will love you if you can find untreated, unvarnished UNPEELED willow but that's almost impossible these days.
4. Fresh willow off a tree is fine as long as it hasn't been pesticided.
5. Apple branches and twigs only if they have not been sprayed with pesticides and ONLY after having been cut and dried for a minimum of 3 months. Fresh apple wood is toxic!
6. Untreated balsa wood is easy to get at your local hobby store and is soft enough to reduce risks of splinters injuring your rabbit.

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.
