fake plant

Question
Hi I left my guinea pig on the counter for like a second because i was getting him medicine( he just had some absesses drained) and i found him nibbling on a small piece of fake plant, i dont know if he actually ate any of it because there was only half of that leaf in the first place but could a fake plant hurt him in any way? Thanks :)

Answer
Hello,
I don't think this will affect your guinea as it will probably go through his system, as you say he didn't eat too much I wouldn't worry but I would monitor him carefully over the next few days. Feed you guinea big but safe leaves or lettuce as it sounds like he likes these.
Best wishes
