Coroplast Alternatives Alternative Border

Do you really need a border? If you are using fleece, you might not as there isn't much to be kicked out.

I'm more concerned about them getting pee/poo outside of the cage and chewing on the bars. I've never had guinea pigs before, is this something I should wait and see if my particular ones do before I install something?

They are WAY more likely to chew on the coroplast than on the bars. I do have coroplast but could probably do without it. But some people do say their pigs tend to play golf with their poos...LOL. You might want to wait and see.

could you pull up the shower curtain to line the sides and cover that with fleece?

I was hoping for something a bit easier to use that I wouldn't have to unhook every time I clean or something that I could permanently attach to the cage.

You could try this out, it's pretty cheap at walmart:

It rolls out easily and covers the sides for my cage and I never see my guinea pigs chewing on it.

I'll check that out, thanks!

I am not sure if this is a option for you, but it cut my cage cost dramatically. In my home town there was a group advertising for a bird show on signs made from that material. I waited patently until the event was over. Since the signs were dated I knew they were not going to be used again. After I justified it with myself I drive around collecting the signs. In a few short stops I had plenty. Ha ha. I have seen stuff on the news and newspaper around here about these and the political signs being a issue because no one ever comes back to them. I now use it as a game looking around as I drive to work and back!!! Heck I am making my part of the world a little better!!!!!
