List of 21 Things To Do With Your Guinea Pigs:
1. Bond with your guinea pigs by handfeeding them veggie treats.
2. Teach them tricks! (We have lots of tutorials on this channel and on guineapigtricks.com)
3. Get them a treat ball to play with and fill it up with diced carrots.
4. Spread treats around on the floor for your guinea pig to sniff out and find. You can also hide some inside tunnels.
5. Shred up big piles of paper for them to run through and play in. Piles of blankets are often a hit too!
6. Set up a piggy playground with toys, tunnels, draped blankets, shredded paper, etc. and let them explore!
7. Do a photoshoot and get cute pictures of your piggies.
8. Get videos of the quirky and cute things your guinea pig does and edit the best parts into a compilation video.
9. Have a taste testing day with different veggies to find your guinea pig's favorites. Make sure all the veggies you choose are safe for piggies to eat.
10. Weather permitting, take your guinea pigs outside to nibble on fresh grass from your yard. Make sure your lawn is untreated and your guinea pigs are safely contained outside in something like a playpen or cagetop.
Alternatively, you could just pick some grass and dandelion leaves (untreated) for your piggies to enjoy indoors. Most guinea pigs LOVE fresh grass from outside.
11. Get a mini muffin pan and a few small balls and hide treats underneath each ball.
12. Go on a piggy shopping spree for new toys and tunnels!
13. Go on a scavenger hunt around your house and find things you can repurpose into tunnels and toys.
14. Make them a snuffle mat and hide treats in the mat for them to find.
15. Re-arrange their cage or swap out toys for a change of scenery.
16. Crumple up balls of newspaper for your guinea pig to roll around and chew. You can also hide treats in the paper balls to make them more interesting to the guinea pigs.
17. Get some cat toy balls (remove the bells) and stuff them with lettuce.
18. Stuff some hay or treats in a cardboard paper roll to give to your guinea pig. Be sure to cut the tube lengthwise before giving it to your pig so they can't get their head stuck.
19. Give them some paper bags or a cardboard box with holes cut out to chew and play in.
20. Show your guinea pig videos of other guinea pigs making noises.
21. Teach your guinea pig to follow you (Cutest trick ever!)
Thanks for watching!
