Are these cubes safe for the pigs?

I found these cubes at BB&B and I was wondering if they're safe for my pigs - both are full grown adults, but is this unsafe? Bed Bath & Beyond - Stacking Cube Set with Bins - Black
Thanks in advance.

Re: Are these cubes safe for the pigs?

Oh, many people use those for their whole cage (usually they have the same ones in pink).
Piggys can't really see their surroundings all that much, however.
Maybe you could use them for the top level if you have one.

Re: Are these cubes safe for the pigs?

Yeah, I have seen people use them. I wouldn't use them if you put a top on it. I would be afraid there wouldn't be enough ventalation.

Re: Are these cubes safe for the pigs?

Some people who have been using those plastic grids have been reporting their pigs chew on them. So for that reason, I would not recommend them. Safety is a major concern.

Here are the metal ones that are much more suitable and they are only .99 cents more than the plastic ones.

Yes, I have the metal ones for my C&C cage. I do recommend them.

Re: Are these cubes safe for the pigs?

I've used them for quarantine cage. I don't recommend them. The quarantined pig chewed on them.

ETA: I mean I don't recommend the plastic grids. The new pig has been moved into the main cage that's made with metal grids.
