Why Do Guinea Pigs Need a Challenge?

Guinea pigs are active and curious animals, they need a challenge! There are many different toys, but it is nice to offer playing in a challenging way so that the animals do not get bored.

In the wild, the guinea pig spends all day looking for food and socializing with peers. In our home the guinea pigs have much less to do. Food and drinks are neatly served by their people and they often get everything they need simply served up and that is of course very good, but they do need a bit of a challenge.

Why are intelligence toys fun for guinea pigs?

This is where things get interesting for the animals! Intelligence toys are guinea pig toys that aim to stimulate and excite the animal. The guinea pigs now have to work for their food or their snack and as a reward they get the treat. This type of toy is highly recommended by behavior experts because it provides a lot of enrichment and activity. It prevents boredom and thus also problem behavior that often accompanies boredom. Guinea pigs are smart animals that are determined. If we look at the perseverance of a rabbit and a guinea pig, the guinea pig often scores better, they are not quitters and that makes them suitable for intelligence toys.

Intelligence toys are best done together. The guinea pigs definitely need to learn how it works in the beginning, but once they get the hang of it, they go wild as soon as they see the toy again!
