What types of toys are safe and enjoyable for small pets like hamsters or guinea pigs?
For small pets like hamsters, safe toys include chew-proof tunnels, exercise wheels (with solid surfaces to prevent foot injuries), and chew toys made from natural materials like wood. Hamsters also enjoy hiding places and climbing structures. Guinea pigs benefit from toys that encourage natural behaviors, such as chew toys to keep their teeth healthy, tunnels for hiding, and soft bedding for comfort. It’s important to ensure that all toys are free from small parts that could be swallowed and made from non-toxic materials. Regularly inspecting and cleaning toys helps ensure their safety and hygiene.
