I have had my C&C cage for about 2 years now, and i noticed the other day that the Coroplast doesnt look quite as well as it use too. The edges are chewed up from Rocky and the corners have collected dust that i cant get out. Do you think i should replace it? How often or if ever do you replace yours?

That is your decision to make, replacing it is probably more for you then the pigs.

The "dust" in the corner is probably a buildup of urine and maybe woodproduct that chemically bonded. I find an s0s pad or steel wool helps clean it out. I never taped my coroplast, so it just folds out for easy cleaning. If the sos does not work, you can always carefully take a straight edge razor blade to it, hold it at a 45 degree angle and you should be able to chip it off.

I've only replaced my tape before. When you take the tape off you can clean the bits in the corner easily. And if the edges are chewed up you could shave a cm off the sides to make it look newer.
