Yes, cardboard is ok to eat. As written above, make sure there is no glue on it. Pig's like to eat newspaper too!

Well thats great to hear! Cleo was glad when i put back her hidy hole (don't worry she had others to hide in when i took the box away.) The box is her favorite place to hid and nap.

Thank you all very much

It's a good thing piggies can have cardboard. Percy LOVES when I bring home the big toilet paper rolls that they use in my building at work. I peel all the shiny parts off and slice down one side with my box cutter to make sure he can't get stuck.

Try stuffing 'em with hay. They'll really go nuts for that!
