Wood cages are not very good because guinea pigs love to chew on wood. If you give your guinea pig a wooden cage, they might chew threw one day. Your pet might get lost!
No wood chips will not hurt your guinea pig and are often put into their cages for bedding.
Yes guinea pigs do eat wood they preefer tree bark but they can eat wood and bark, in fact it is 1 of their favorite treats :)
No, it is not safe for guinea pigs to chew on crabapple wood. The wood is toxic to small animals like guinea pigs and can cause harm if ingested. It's best to provide safe chew toys made specifically for guinea pigs to keep their teeth healthy and occupied.
logs, wood
logs, wood
yes, some of them are like soft kitty litter or some that are toxic and have scent Answer #2: Yes. Cedar wood shavings cause respiratory problems to guinea pigs. Over a period of time, this can be fatal. Pine is good though. I like the scent, and it's good for guinea pigs.
I would recommend the kind with the plastic pan bottom and wire top. If it has a door at the top and the side that is a plus. It should not have a wire bottom because this can hurt the guinea pigs feet. The bigger the cage the better. Hope that helps.
Guinea Pigs can eat wood, its okay. Many guinea pigs will eat their own bedding-which is sawdust (wood). They need to chew on hard objects or their teeth will get to long and it will be harder for them to eat or drink.
only if you disinfect it first
In a way, yes. Guinea pigs need to keep their teeth short and they chew on things to achieve this. Wood is sometimes recommended for this, but cardboard works too. They may even shred the tube for nesting.
Never feed your guinea pigs random twigs! You never know what might make them fatally ill! Apple branches, however are brill for guinea pigs. You can also buy special wood chews from pet shops!
yes but only if it is frightened or just sleepy
