well you should be feeding your guinea pig hay? so when ever its out of hay if you have shredded paper in the cage it will eat the shredded paper. my guinea pigs do this as well so it isn't much to worry about

Correction

According to all guinea pig care books, it's important to make sure that the animals always have a supply of a special kind of hay called timothy. It's necessary for proper digestion and control of their teeth which, as with all rodents, grow constantly. Unlike hay, paper is processed and has far fewer nutrients. Some guinea pigs may eat excessive amounts which can seriously harm their digestive system.
