Biting Guinea pig Chewing Wood Cage

[krystle.sm87]

I put both my piggy's into a new cage it's made from wood. And my one guinea pig keeps chewing it the other does not touch the wood of the cage is there any way I can get him to stop doing it? They have wood and things to chew on and for some reason my one guinea pig won't touch any of that stuff.

There's a reason most people don't use wood cages for guinea pigs, and you've found out what it is.

There's no way to keep him from chewing unless you block him away from the wood.

I had him in a wood one before and he didn't do that.. I then put them in a metal one but he kept chewing the metal bars which ended up making him sick. I don't get why he won't Chew any of the wood chews they have

I've never had a pig that would chew one of the wood chews.

My other guinea pig does chew them

It's probably a different wood that tastes or feels better to them somehow. You can try putting vinegar on the area he chews but it likely won't work.

Well, just as a suggestion since I have a wooden cage, most hardware stores sell thin metal edge guards that you could put on the edges of the walls to prevent him from getting to the wood. You can get it for really cheap.
