How high can piggies jump?

[Cute_Guineapigs]

Hey

I'm thinking about getting hardboard/plywood to block off areas of my bedroom where wires are to stop the piggies getting to them during free range time. But I want to know how high I should make the boards to prevent any escape via jumping over?

Umm, I suppose it depends on how agile the piggy is really. I've seen some on Youtube that can jump on sofa's etc.

They can jump quite high on top of pigloos etc. Also take care not to put anything close to the edge that they may use as a step up, over and off to freedom. lol xx

Mine jump 8-9 inches onto their pigloo and Stitch has climbed out of the indoor pen which is 9 inches tall.

so should I make the boards at least 2ft high?

I think 14-16 inches should be okay
