...and the hooman is losing. Badly.

Difficult to really see, but there she is pulling like billy-o on the fleece. She does that, then puts her nose through the grid and lifts and pushes, lifts and pushes. Then tugs on the fleece, then pushes the grid. Until she frees the fleece and can shoot underneath it to eat the shower curtain. It's wearing a bit thin! (Both my patience and the shower curtain!)
 
Lola likes to do the same. Drives me mad! Could you add another bit of fleece where they like to dig? I did that with Lola and Lily and they gave up in the end lol

I might look at how I can do that, it doesn't make for a relaxing evening for any of us when we are up and down pulling them away :( I thought I'd been dead clever making an apple pie type join of the two fleeces in the middle, they are just tugging it out from under the sides of the pen now instead.

They have also gone on dirty protest out of spite and flicked all of their poos out of the pen and turned over the hay tray.

I don't think they are my friends tonight.
 
Sorry but I just laughed out loud when I saw your second pic.... Under cover lol.... I have two layers of cage liners and Gladys always likes to get under the top one, that's why I put two in... Hope you find a solution soon x

Oh don't get me started on the saga that is the actual cage liner... raaaaaargh. FYI, hot glue guns don't work on correx. Or velcro. Cost me a fortune to find that out.

Oh no...... I make mine ... But that's not helpful is it lol !
 
I use to use bulldog clips to clip the fleece to the correx works really well. It might also be an idea to put a loose bit of fleece in the cage so they hide under that instead of pulling up there bedded fleece.

Piggies are so demanded my Fred was a fabulous escape artist when I had grids. Just look at this..

Piggy determination...

 
I was also going to suggest Bulldog clips :) What a clever little piggy she is though :)

Ah @Flinstones that really made me smile. Naughty piggy!

I use these to hold the cage doors on my set-up, they work really well x

Haha! @flintstones , that is amazing! I could imagine here I would have been roaring at the kids about which of them left the pen open!

They also have a nice big bit of loose fleece to play under. They know that isn't THE fleece though. There is no getting to skid about in a puddle of your own wee with that. *sigh* (Or in the case of the floor time, a nice tasty shower curtain to nibble on)
