A bit concerned... puppy pad gnawing

Did a midweek clean last night and I put down a puppy pad as a liner with megazorb on top and a pile of hay. This is the first time I've used a puppy pad.

This morning I spotted lots of little nibbles out of the edge of the puppy pad.

Is this just the girls exploring it and checking if it's edible? Should I be concerned that they may have invested a bit of the outside edge?

They all seemed perfectly normal this morning and were very keen on their veg!

Keep an eye on it. If it is just a one off, then it won't do much damage, as long as the piggies are not eating the plastic. Otherwise you might want to fix the fleece by weighing it down in the corners to prevent your piggies from digging.
 
I will thanks. It just looked like little bites out of the thin surround, not the actual absorbent part.

Oh well, might have to go back to cardboard liner or nothing at all for now. Just megazorb and hay.
