I assume since these cages are so widely recommended, that it's highly uncommon for a piggy to chew and eat the coroplast?
I'm asking because while phoning around signmakers today looking for coroplast, I had a woman be very rude to me on the phone. When I explained what I wanted it for, she said she has guinea pigs and implied I was being thoughtless and irresponsible using it in a cage as they could chew it and get ill. I explained that it would be at least 6 inches deep so they would have to put real effort into reaching and chewing the edges but she was adamant that it was a stupid idea. She then quoted me double the price I'd been quoted elsewhere, quite possibly to discourage me. As if I'd be doing business with her anyway.
So my question is, has anyone ever had a serious issue with chewy piggies in a C&C? I kind of assumed they would try it, realise it's not tasty and go back to the plentiful goodies within the cage. I've only been a piggy mum for a week after years of keeping rats and I want to get it right with my new boys.
thank you.
