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.

Can you make a guinea a pig cage out of legos?
I guess you could. However guinea pigs need lots of space to run, so you would need a TON of legos. Also make sure the guinea pig can't jump over the walls, that they can't be knocked down, and if they chew on them to much, you will need to get a new cage as this is bad.
