Chewing the Coroplast

[SqueakersNYC]

Me again.... one of my piggies is chewing the coroplast up on the narrow loft area.... any ideas how to stop this? She has lots of other things to chew on in the enclosure!

Mine do this, I have fleece which is cut to size and draped over both sides of the correx that sticks up so that they can’t get their teeth on it - basically I make sure no correx is visible or it will be eaten

I slot these over the edges, you can cut one with a hack saw to finish the length of cage if they don't work out to be the right size.

What are those?

I don't know what you call them really, maybe file binders or paper binders.

Slide binders. (they're a godsend to stop piggies eating correx)

As the above posters have said. Slide binders, spine binders etc for A4 paper. Always get the size 1mm above the thickness of your correx.

So if i got 4mm coroplast i would need 5mm slide binders? Thanks

Yes. It makes it easier to slide onto the correx.

Thank you, I'll buy some 5mm ones then

Sorry quick question, any idea how many binders I would need for a 2x6? Thanks

Depends how long the binders are. If they are 30cm, then a 2x6 c&c measures approximately 210cm x 77cm so doing the calculation, it’ll probably be about 20 binders (calculates to approx 14 for the two long sides and approx 6 binders for the two short sides) needed but as I say it depends on actual cage measurements (the correx will be slightly smaller than the actual cage measurements) and the binder measurements

I’m not good at maths like Piggies&buns - I just bought a box of them and that was more than enough!

That's such a help, really appreciate it x
