My pigs have made it their personal mission to see how much coroplast they can eat lately. I've gotten larger pieces of fleece so that I can clip it to the tops of the sides of the coroplast to cover it. It gets to be a bit of a hassle to clean the cage this way though, so I was wondering if anybody has a better way of keeping them away from it. Thanks in advance for suggestions!

One of mine has taken to nibbling the edges of the coroplast also. I plan on redoing the cage next week when I get to do the intros and I plan on putting those report cover spines over the edges. I found them online for $20 for a hundred but I need to run over to the office supply store down the road and see if they have them there.

This is what I am talking about. Report Cover Spine

If I remember right, I used to use those report cover things when I made wire rabbit cages years ago...

I found a spool of plastic car door protector stuff (the things you put around the edge of your car doors so they don't ding another cars paint) that was hard plastic, and not painted with something that would flake.. maybe you could find something similar ? It's a U shaped plastic like the protectors so they would slide on (not the sticky stuff).

I've tried the report cover sliders in the past, but they would pop off a lot. That's a really good idea about the car door protectors! I'll have to look for some! Thanks!
