Best Guinea Pig Toys for 2022

Our favourite collection on the market, HAYPIGS have built their reputation around creating piggy toys with one unusual theme… the circus.

Allowing you to create your very own travelling guinea pig show, this triple toy starter kit features three of their best selling items: the cavy cannonball, weightlifter kebab stick and circus treat ball, ensuring you have a great variety of interactive and stimulating goodies!

The cavy cannonball offers a unique tunnel and see-saw combo, encouraging repeat visits thanks to the fun tilting action, while the circus treat ball gives guineas an item they can push and roll around the pen in an attempt to release pellets or other sweet treats.

The most unusual item though is the piggy weightlifters, which allows you to remove a weight and skewer on vegetables and fruit to make a weighty kebab for your piggies to wrestle over.

They’re Big Top toys boasting tip-top quality!

Toys that combine stimulation and enrichment for ickle guineas are undoubtedly a great option and help keep their minds sharp and teeth sharper.

Combining tasty treats, chewing opportunities and a fun hide and seek activity, this treat maze is entirely made with hay-coated, edible parchment, meaning the whole labyrinth is completely safe for piggy ingestion.

A fun grassy piece of terrain for your guinea to explore, the maze is a fantastic foraging tool and provides a series of tubes and rings for you to hide tasty treats inside for your piggy pal.

Ready to use on purchase, it’s also been pre-filled with appetising marigold flowers and sweet dried carrot mixtures your guinea won’t be able to resist!

Not only is this chew carrot super cute, but it will keep your piggies entertained for hours as they nibble away.

The carrot is made with an appealing chewable texture as well, which is also handy for keeping their ever-growing teeth short.

Turning your guinea pig’s run into an exciting and engaging environment is often a tricky challenge, as not all of us are certified playground architects!

But this Play Tunnel and Shelter from Zippi could help solve all your issues, as it’s warren style design ensures you have a ready-made area that’s perfect for both exercise and relaxing without having to draw up your own blueprint!

A pink shelter with two connecting, bendable tubes, you can add several of these together to create a whole new exciting world right inside your guinea pig’s pen, ensuring they never get bored running through their system of tubes and safe spaces.

For outdoor spaces, they also provide excellent shelter from bad weather and we suggest filling the little rooms with cosy accessories so they can snuggle up to and relax inside!

Our favourite feature of these tunnels though is their anti-chew rings which screw onto the end of each tube. These act as both secure connectors to fit them to the central shelter but also, as they say on the tin, stop guineas nibbling their new toy to bits within seconds!

It’s by far the best guinea pig tunnel on the market!

Chew toy sets are a great way to maintain your guinea’s dental health and this great activity ball collection from andwe also doubles as a fun interactive plaything!

Featuring 8 unique handmade balls from all-natural materials such as seagrass, water hyacinth, rattan, willow twigs, corn husk and coco fibre, they provide plenty of fibre for your guinea and keep their gnashers efficiently gnawed down.

Their round shape also means they can be pushed around your pet’s pen with ease, helping to end spells of boredom and keep them healthy and happy.

To add a little more entertainment, their material also makes them easy to stuff with pellets and snacks, meaning they’re the ideal toy for creating foraging and hide and seek games.

A certified instincts unlocker, these balls will keep your guineas entertained for hours!

For anyone who’s owned a guinea pig for an extended period of time, you’ll know that brand new toys don’t always last that long thanks to their incessant nibbling!

It’s therefore sometimes a wise idea to buy yourself a collection of chew toys, that you can slowly introduce your guineas to over an extended period of time, changing them over once the first few have become worn or no longer of interest.

This fantastic collection from ERKOON is a great starter pack, providing you with 13 eclectic and odd wooden chew toys for your pipsqueak to enjoy! These include a square molar block with rope, pine nuts, apple tree branches, molar string, rattan balls and even a unicycle and dumbbell!

Made of the highest-quality wood, they’re durable and excellent gnawing tools guaranteeing your pet’s pearls stay sharp and shiny!

Nuzzling and gnawing away at objects is second nature to guinea pigs, so giving them a toy they can chew on and push around is a great idea.

Much like the game, this Tug ‘N’ Gnaw toy is made from cotton and rope and light wooden blocks making it great to throw around for your piggie or simply for them to chew away at – chewing is a natural pastime for guinea pigs. It is actually essential for keeping their teeth small.

This fun multi-coloured fiddlesticks bundle from Kaytee is a fantastic gnawing toy and adds some much-needed characters and cuteness to your guinea pig’s play area.

Far from just a pile of twigs though, each stick is attached together meaning you can bend the carpet of logs into numerous shapes such as a fence or a hidey-hole tunnel!

It’s also perfectly edible, meaning your guinea is free to nosh away at and fulfil their instinctive chewy behaviour!

A great option for those who just want a budget buy that still provides their guinea some key enrichment and exercise, this Naturals Dandelion Roll n Nest, is a giant woven grass ball that your guinea will relish nudging and nibbling around their enclosure.

Helping to unlock a guinea pig’s natural foraging instinct, the ball is stuffed full of some of the sweetest flower petals available, including marigolds and dandelions, meaning piggies will spend hours attempting to bite their way through to the tasty centre!

An optimum way to stave away boredom and offer up a tasty snack, you can’t go wrong with this chew toy!
