Yes, they can. Guinea pigs, like a lot of other rodents, like chewing on cardboard, paper, etc.

However you be careful the first few times you give paper to your piggie. Some guinea pigs simply chew the paper while others try to eat it, which can affect their digestion. If your pet eats paper it should be given some other kind of chew toy. In any case chewing is extremely important for rodents because their teeth are always growing.

Most hamsters chew at the toilet roll to get material for bedding, giving the impression that the cardboard is being consumed. Eating small amounts of cardboard should not cause hamsters significant harm. However, if large amounts are being consumed, toilet rolls should no longer be placed in the cage.

You don't have to, but hamsters love to chew on them. As long as there is no actual toilet paper left on the roll that they could choke on, it should not be a problem.

It depends, it could get sick, choke, have diarrhea, constipate, or die.

Or it will be fine.

Your hamster won't actually eat the toilet paper roll, it will just chew it, but definitely give it when because they are good for their teeth!

What is a good toy for a hamster?

The best thing to do is make home-made toys: A toilet paper/paper towel roll would be the best for hamsters because they can crawl in and out of it and chew on it to make bedding.Also you can make a hamster swing by doing the same thing but making it higher and you can watch your hamsters enjoy swinging back and forth in it.A cool way to do something is to make a maze with toilet paper/papertowel rolls and cardboard from cereal boxes or moving boxes and cut a hole that the roll will fit in and stick the roll in it until it goes to the middle of the cardboard and do this pattern until you run out and you can collect this and make a huge maze and put the treats at the end of the maze (makes the hamster go through it faster) If you know how to make a bird feeder you should know how to do this: Get an item that is nontoxic and can fit in the cage ( if you dont know of any items type in on google "home made items to make a hamster treat") then get some sticky food around it but not glue or probably not peanut butter you can get plainlow fat yogurt and get a spoon and put it all around the item then stick hamster food around it and get some thread and hang it at the top of the cage

Is it safe for cats to eat SEPTIC SAFE toilet paper?

My cats play with toilet paper. They scratch it, unroll it and roll in it. I can't get them to stop, but they don't eat it. You have a strange CAT. Septic Safe toilet paper is recycled paper with no chemicals. Should be safe to eat as long as it hasn't been used in the toilet or septic tank.

I would say within arms reach of the toilet. preferably on the right side. No. If the toilet is near the corner of the room, then the wall that the toilet ISNT laying against is the place for the toilet paper roll.
