Eating plastic?

[guineapigss]

I recently ‘upgraded’ my guinea pigs cage with a plastic tube going from their hutch to a run. They use it all the time however I’ve noticed they’ve started eating the end of it. So:
1. Can they eat plastic?
2. Any ways to stop them from doing this?
I don’t have a photo right now but I’ll put one on asap

1. No they shouldn't eat plastic
2. You can try to distract them with something else, but they can be persistent sometimes. You might need to change it for something else unfortunately.

Ah okay! They do have a lot of chew toys but They’re all quite used so i might have to get them a new and long lasting something!

They always seem to want to chew what they're not suppose to. I have one that loves to eat puppy pads.
