If you provide them with unlimited hay, they shouldn't nibble on things as much. Also if you build the cage high enough, your pigs should not be able to reach the edge of the wood to be able to chew on it.

Building a wood cage is a lot harder than C&C. I used to have C&C but wanted something that looks more like furniture.

Here are pictures:

See more ideas in the gallery.
Alternative Cages

I like these, and I think they would be easy to build.

This one is made from a bed.

You're welcome.
I've seen some people convert Ikea shelves into cages. You might like these pics.
- Schwedisch

I personally think the Ikea shelves are too narrow, they could work if you double them up.

Here are some more cage ideas.

By the way, I don't know German. I just look at the pictures.
