    i’m sure if you go to any large pet store they would have things specialized for guinea pigs, like hampster toy but bigger, if not ask an associate. the only guinea pig i’ve ever had was perfectly content in a little house like thing in his cage.

    Tunnels are good.

    (My 2 guinea pigs Cosmos And Ragamuffin have one.)

    The best and most safe toys for guinea pigs are actually things you can find right in your house. They love things like toilet and paper towel rolls (of course make sure it’s just the cardboard roll without any paper on it), they also enjoy brown paper bags, just open each end and they will chew on it and run through it like a tunnel. you can also fill it with hay. Some guinea pigs also like small bird toys that you can find at the pet store, just make sure it isn’t too big and doesn’t have too many strings and things on it that could be a choking hazard.
    But you’re right most toys out there are harmful to piggies and the exercise balls should never be used because a guinea pigs body is not as flexible as a hamster or gerbil.
