Can Guinea Pigs Eat Paper Towels?

So we have looked at how paper towel rolls are pretty interesting for guinea pigs, can guinea pigs eat or chew paper towels?

Can guinea pigs eat paper towels?

Well yes, they can, and they will be fine for them to chew and eat, just like any other paper.

But they really shouldn’t be part of their staple diet, besides the fact that once they realize they don’t taste of good veggies or decent grass hay, they will quickly turn off it and move on to something else.

This is why paper towels work quite well as a base bedding or bedding itself as they are something safe for guinea pigs to sleep on.

However, they do need changing often as guinea pigs do pee a lot and so they will get soggy very quickly.
