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.
