coroplast side height

If you're using shavings, make the sides at least 6 inches high. If the cage is against the wall, you might want to make the back wall of the coroplast higher to help prevent shavings from going behind the cage where it will be more difficult to get to them. With pine shavings, try and find packages that say kiln-dried or heat-dried. I found kiln-dried pine at Southern States (a farm supply store). If you can not find kiln or heat-dried pine, get a large box to dump the pine in and let it air out for several days, stirring it around often, to get rid of some of a lot of the odor. The smell from the pine is really bad for guinea pig lungs and can cause respiratory problems.

Thank you. Kiln dried it is.

I did the 6" sides with the back being about 10". After a week I trimmed the front down so I could see the pigs better. 4" for the front works well too. So what you have a few shavings?! LOL
