Guinea pigs tend, and LOVE to chew on multiple things. They don't actually try to eat and swallow it, they just need to trim down their teeth, because a guinea pig's teeth never stops growing. Otherwise, if it actually DOES eat and swallow it's plasic container, it's really hungry. Make sure to feed your guinea pig right!
