Why 'Nutmeg and Pepper'?


Nutmeg and Pepper are the names of my guinea pigs.
I created this blog about my guinea pigs, and my experiences and tips for other owners. I have discovered that direct info from owners is by far the most helpful. So I am writing to all the guinea pig owners who have had the same frustration with inadequate sources. Here may be some answers to your troubles!

Chewing Plastic + Solution

My guinea pigs chew on everything. Even their plastic pigloo. So I got them a SnakShak toy. YAY! Now they are chewing on something that if they swallow it they can digest it safely. This is defintiely better than plastic. My guinea pigs are reluctant to chew wood so the SnakShak has been my savior.
The SnakShak is made primarily of compressed wood shavings, which guinea pigs tend to nibble on in their cage anyways.
