Guinea Pig Gnawing

Guinea pigs love being a little mischievous.

They love gnawing. They'd also love to gnaw on things like electrical chords, sweaters, cloth, newspapers, or virtually anything. The biological reason is that gnawing helps to trim the fast growing front teeth.

I've even seen skittles chew on hair! If you want to keep your hair, try giving them some wood blocks or citrus branches, or other tree branches to gnaw on.
