Read moreGuinea pig herbal toys – guinea pig toys to nibble and explore
Looking for guinea pig toys that do more than just look good in their enclosure? Guinea pig herbal toys combine playing, sniffing, and nibbling in one: think hay balls, willow balls with herbs/flowers, tunnels, and boxes with hay and herbs. Ideal as an extra activity, foraging, and variety for guinea pigs, without the hassle. Specialists since 2011, so you can choose with confidence and with practical help.
These guinea pig toys stimulate curiosity and encourage a "search" experience. Combine them with Play & Forage for an even more challenging activity.
Many toys are made from materials like hay, willow, and herbs/flowers. They're perfect for combining with gnawing materials and guinea pig hay .
What are guinea pig herbal toys?
Guinea pig herbal toys are guinea pig toys —products that focus on "activity": your guinea pig can sniff them, roll around in them, nibble on pieces, and sometimes even "search" for them. In this subcategory you'll find, among other things:
- Hay balls & pasture balls – rolling, nibbling and moving.
- Willow balls with herbs/flowers – natural structure + scent stimuli.
- Boxes/garlands with hay and herbs – fun to rummage in and take out.
- Tunnels with flowers/hay – an extra challenge in the enclosure (always check the size).
Tip: Do you notice your guinea pig mainly "sniffing and searching"? Combine these toys with small portions of guinea pig snacks or with individual dried guinea pig herb products to create "foraging moments."
Choosing: Which guinea pig toy is right for your guinea pig?
The best choice depends on behavior and design. Use this quick selection guide:
- For “nibblers” : choose sturdy gnawing material in addition to a herb/hay toy.
- For “seekers” : choose a box/sling and hide a few crumbs of food or a small snack in it.
- For “shy” guinea pigs : place the toy close to a hiding place, such as houses or tunnels .
- For larger enclosures : use multiple “stations” (rest/eating/play) in a spacious guinea pig enclosure or run .
A practical base remains important: hay should always be available. Check out our selection of guinea pig hay .
Use & Feed: How to Use Herb Toys Smartly
Because many herbal toys are (partly) edible, they are best used as a supplement to the daily menu: hay as a base, supplemented with suitable guinea pig food and daily fresh portions (where appropriate).
- Build up slowly when introducing new herbs/structures: start with short “getting to know you” moments.
- Vary : Switch between a ball, a box and a hanging/laying toy to keep things interesting.
- Make it hygienic : do not place edible toys directly on wet bedding.
Use & hygiene
- Daily : Remove any wet/sticky bits and check that the toy remains clean.
- Weekly : Rotate toys and clean the “play area” with guinea pig cleaning products.
- Handy : combine with a good surface such as ground cover or ground mats/puddle mats .
Guinea pig toys for children: how to make it fun and calm
Looking for guinea pig toys for kids ? Herbal toys are ideal for observing together: children can help with "hiding," watch the guinea pig sniff, and gently introduce them to something new. A few child-friendly tips:
- Let the guinea pig choose : put the toy down and give the guinea pig time to approach it.
- Make it a search game : put a small herbal snack in a box or behind a ball (in moderation).
- Respect resting place : always provide a shelter, such as a house .
Making your own guinea pig toys? 4 safe DIY ideas
Many people search for ways to make guinea pig toys . This is perfectly fine, as long as you use simple, safe materials. Here are some ideas that fit well with natural behavior:
- Toilet roll foraging roll : fill with hay and a few dried herbs, fold the ends closed.
- Cardboard "sniffing box" : a clean, uncoated box with hay and some herbs; make 1–2 entry holes.
- Paper bag sniffing : an unscented paper bag filled with hay; let the guinea pig tear and search for it themselves.
- Haystack : Make a small “haystack” and sprinkle some herbal treats on top.
Prefer something ready-made? Then you've come to the right place: this category is filled with guinea pig toys that are ready to use, often made with natural materials like willow, hay, and herbs.

Safety warnings
- Offer edible toys (with herbs/hay) as a supplement to the daily menu; hay always remains the basis.
- Check new toys the first few times: every guinea pig nibbles differently, and some animals are quicker to destroy things.
- Replace a toy when it becomes wet, sticky or very worn (hygiene and safety).
- When making DIY projects, don't use glue, staples, plastic, string, or scented/printed materials. Choose clean, plain cardboard/paper.
- Have you noticed your guinea pig suddenly becoming less active or eating noticeably differently? If in doubt, contact a veterinarian.
