Hi,

How do I make my two oldest girls not burrow? They've destroyed the wood pellets and messed up the fleece twice in one day. How do u help them not burrow.

Maybe there is some way to rig up the fleece so they can't get under it? Make clips around the edges and attach it to the cage?

They still figure out how. I'm using 2 pieces cause I don't have enough

Hmm... Maybe an alternative then? One of my females love burrowing into paper sacks full of hay.

[mm don't have anything to see with. I list all my needles. I patched it up really good and they've seemed to stop

Make them a little sand pit out of a plastic box and sand (obviously) maybe this will help! They may also be trying to hide! Make sure there are some hidy huts in the cage!

Hands up of who clicked on this post expecting to hear a story about a tiny person riding on a guinea pig. :) For those who don't know what I'm talking about google The Borrowers by Mary Norton.

I can't spell either. But, I am a firm believer in the Borrowers existence, and one day there will be proof :).
Well that explains where all my socks and knick knacks went lol
