4 my Guinea pigs to go through or hide in, but one like to chew or bite the plastic, but I'm worried if I left it in there, they might get ill from knawing on the plastic plant pot.
Or am I panicing too much?

Go to a carpet shop and explain and they're usually glad to get rid of the big empty cardboard rolls they get the carpet on. Cut them into sections with a jigsaw or hacksaw.
It comes in different sizes and its great for small animals like guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, puppies and birds.

Hi there. There is the possibility for the guinea pig to ingest the plastic. To avoid a potential problem, give them things to chew on like untreated wood pieces, raw hide pieces. You can use large cans for fun places to hide. Chewing is necessary to keep their teeth from overgrowing. have a great year.

I would be concerned if I were you. It is natural for them to want to chew, that is why they have those HUGE teeth in the front. Go to the pet store and get your pets toys they can safely chew on. It's good that you try to help relieve your pets boredom, but do so safely.

They only nibble at it so it shouldn't do any harm but if your worried maybe try an empty kitchen roll middle or a structure made of wood instead. Its good for their teeth

Try a terra cotta pipe instead,the plastic is harmful when eaten by any animals.
