Re: I want to hear from people who use/used shower curtain type material instead of c

You might want to put towels and fleece over it so they can't get to the plastic. Or at least some form of bedding.

This is what I did when I had the piggies at my parents for vacation.

Floor-Garbage Bag-Old Towel-Fleece-Piggies

The fleece was bigger than the garbage bag so they couldn't even get to it. The towel soaks up most of it, the garbage bag was basically there to protect the carpet.

The only problem I had with this was not having enough bracing and having a piggy who considered just moving the entire thing. I put some bins with stuff in them by the cage to keep them from being able to move it. Also I've read some people set it up so their grids are inside their coroplast to keep the coroplast from being chewed.

Also do your piggies have free choice hay, and other things to chew on. Most chewing problems go away with having an unlimited amount of hay in the cage (by that I mean you fill it up before its empty), wooden hidey huts to chew on, and other chewable objects, like pop/soda box huts, paper towel rolls, and cereal boxes. My piggies love the paper towel rolls so much, that I tear them in half so each one can have one.

Congrats on getting 6 male piggies to live together.
