You know, I have wondered about that, too, now that I am long since grown up and think about those kinds of things. That little guinea pig obviously could have jumped out of the banana box at any time, and ran all around the house, but he never did. I loved the little guines pig and took him out a lot to run around and play; so maybe he got all the exercise he needed when I had him out of the box. As far as I know, he never ever tried to escape, and only jumped out when we put down the new box for him to move into.
We fed him the green outside leaves of the lettuce and he loved eating that. of course he always had his regular food as well, but when he saw one of us heading his way with lettuce leaves, he would have hs little nose up and squeaking like crazy for his special treat.
All in all, he was a wonderful little pet, and he seemed to be perfectly content living in the banana boxes.
