Yes, Guinea Pig Appreciation Day happens just one day a year (the holiday lands on July 16, for the record), but it's never a bad day to spoil your mini playmate. No matter what breed of guinea pig you own, your low-maintenance pet needs certain things to thrive, including lots of alfalfa hay, plenty of vitamin C, a sparkling clean cage, and — last but certainly not least — some fun guinea pig toys for exercise and amusement. After all, most guinea pigs spend their days in a cage or other enclosure, so the best toys for guinea pigs work to stave off boredom and keep your rascally rodent active and moving.

Guinea pigs also need chews to help wear down their teeth, which grow continually throughout their lives. In addition to incorporating a lot of crunchy fruits and vegetables into your guinea pig's diet, you should look for toys that can help guinea pigs maintain the length of their teeth and nails. Not sure where to get started? A guinea pig ball, tunnel, chews, and other veterinarian-recommended toys and games can all keep your fluffy friend happy — and we've rounded up all the best guinea pig toys that are worth adding to your cart right here.

Because their teeth keep growing all their lives, guinea pigs need to chew constantly to keep their teeth filed. This colorful, natural wood toy encourages them to get chomping with a pleasing texture and almond flavor.

An exercise ball lets your guinea pig run around the house without getting lost, chewing on things they shouldn't, or finding themselves stuck under furniture. This one even lights up, for extra fun. Always supervise your guinea pig when she's using the ball and close off any stairs, so your pet can't roll down them.

If your guinea pig lives in a wire cage, then you can hang this fruit-shaped wooden chew from it for hours of fun. The multiple shapes encourage gnawing from all angles, and it helps your pet some exercise as well.

You can get this snuggly hideaway (which is made with plush fleece on the inside and outside, plus cotton padding in the middle) in a variety of patterns, sizes, and designs, and it even has three internal plastic supports to keep the tunnel open at all times.
