Making them chew-proof?

Is there any way I can make my pigloo chew-proof? I was thinking of cutting out a strip of fleece to line the entrance with, because that is the only part of it that they chew on. But what can I use to attach it... I'm afraid tape might come lose, and glue might be toxic... any suggestions??

Maybe get some Bitter Apple Spray?

I used double side velcro tape to line Gizzy's sleep hidey inside and out with fleece, it works nice cause I can take it off and wash it (made some extra's to swop out with)

Thus far it has worked.

I attached a strip of fleece along the entrance to the pigloo with double sided tape, and so far it has stayed in place and the girls havent chewed it... so we will see how that goes.

Re: Making them chew-proof?

I think they are bound to chew on whatever is in their house. I find that the only time we had a problem with this was when we just had 1 pig - she chewed her house like CRAZY. But now that she has friends she doesn't do it. This probably goes without saying but make sure your pigs have enough room to play and plenty of hay to eat.
