When putting towels and blankets in with the pigs, what is the best materials to use, and what are ones to steer clear of? I had a fleece blanket near by one, and she got ahold of it and chewed a hole through it, and I'm concerned before actually putting some in with them.

Hmmmm. I use plain old terrycloth towels under my fleece. The only thing my girls do to their fleece is pull it up and poop under it. They've never tried to eat it (or if they did they didn't get very far because it can NOT taste good)

Some pigs end up being chewers and burrowers(getting under the fleece or towels) but then again others don't. I guess yours are chewers.

There aren't that many piggies that actually chew up fleece like that, most like cuddling in it and laying on it instead. The best material to use as a bedding is fleece with something absorbent underneath.

I just tuck my fleece under the cubes so the pigs can't reach it and there aren't any extra pieces hanging around to chew on.
