Unwanted Chewing

[Libby Louise]

Does anybody possibly have any tips to stop one of my boys chewing the skirting board during floor time? I can't figure out how to post a pic but they have lots to chew, most of their hideys are chewable, they have access to plenty of hay, they have other chewy toys and yet Morty still goes for the skirting board. If I owned the property it would be fine but I rent so not ideal, and I don't want to scare him by chasing him off all the time... Any ideas welcome!

Your piggies have obviously found a taste for paint and hard wood, but they have at least not yet discovered the joys of ripping wall paper...

You have to either physically fence off the skirting board or get an indoors run to prevent your boys from an unwelcome career as indoors decorators.

Thanks for the reply, I thought that might be the case, it's just unfortunate because at the moment they have the run of most of the room and I haven't yet found an indoor run that's as big and affordable... I always keep an eye on them when they're out anyway, it would just be nice not to have to watch them quite so closely

You can use correx or cardboard as a stop-gap if you can cable-tie any sheets/big pieces together.
