Plastic Eater

[Mudpuppy]

Help!
One of my two boars who are approx 14 months old has suddenly started taking a liking for the corrugated plastic that forms the floor and sides of the c and c cage I have for them.
They have plenty of fresh vegetables, hay, pigloo each, space and wooden chew items but he seems obsessed with this now.
Anyone else encountered this? What can I do?
Thanks

Once they get a taste for the correx, they don't stop nibbling! I recommend putting spine binders over the correx edges; I have never met a pig that can get through these! They make your cage look rather snazzy too. Warning they, can be tricky to slide on the edge of the correx, but once you have the knack you'll be fine.

Ahhhhh! Glad it's not just mine! Spine binders as in the type you put paper in to make a booklet?
Thank you

Yeah, that's right. Make sure to get ones a couple millimetres larger than your correx (I had 4mm correx so I used 6mm binders)!

You could put it on outside not the inside of the cage,if that helps
