Plastic Bags

[Enived]

Hi all, I'm new to this forum.

My children's guinea pigs have pulled a Sainsbury's carrier bag through their cage last night and have eaten a sizeable chunk. There are 4 pigs, so I'm not sure who has eaten the most plastic. Should I be worried and take them to the vet?

Do not fret! My Mo did the exact same thing only it was a tesco carrier bag lol. I would only fret if a piggy suddenly stops eating or pooing because that could suggest thete is a blockage. Yet I suspect they'll all be fine.

Piggies eat all sorts of things they shouldn't and they are OK so don't panic! As @Jesse's pigs has said only start to worry if one of them stops eating or pooing.

Thank you.

They'll probably be fine. My Toast has chewed through plastic bags, my shoe laces, my scarf, socks, rubber.... basically she'll eat anything in her path

@Beans&Toast maybe you should rename her goat then

She's a nightmare! Maybe it's good roughage for her

Just keep an eye on them for the next 24 hours and see a vet promptly, but there should be no problems.
