My piggy just figured out that she can burrow under her fleece. All my fleece is already pre-cut to the shape of her cage, so I can't just throw them all out and cut new ones into a bigger size. My cavy keeps lifting the flaps on the edges and poops & wees there a lot.Please give some advice on what to do, I feel really hopeless. :ple:
 
Haha join the club! You could see Velcro into the fleece and stick the other park down. If you do it along the entire length and width they wouldn’t be able to get underneath. Alternatively you could see some extra fabric onto the sides - that way you can clip the extra to the correx (if you use it that is).

Thankyou! I'm going to try that as soon as I find some velcro...

You will need a denim needle on your sewing machine if you don't already have one as Velcro is tough stuff and breaks ordinary needles.

Thank you!
 
If they are burrowing in a specific spot them maybe think about placing a hide or soemthing heavy there - smooth flat stones from a river or garden center might work.
