can you paint coroplast

I'd wipe it down with a dilute vinegar solution. Is it kind of a "new car" smell? If so, it's a plastic thing and there's nothing you can do about it.

I'm not sure. It's like a weird odor but doesn't smell like "new car smell" because I love the smell of new cars. I think it may be a smell from the shop because it's so small and they have so much in the store. I will use the vinegar and see if that helps. Thank you very much.

I had a new question. Since I shouldn't paint the coroplast sheets I was wondering if I could use sheets of black construction paper or poster board on the outside to change the color. The reason for this is because this coroplast was used at a ball field previously. It has lettering on it and I wanted to cover that up. The lettering is only on the outside and not on the inside of the cage so I would only put the constructions paper or poster board on the outside. If it would be safe can I use school glue and glue it on or should I use tape? Thanks.

I think you can cover that up as long as the piggy can't eat it that should be fine, maybe try a small section and tape or glue it and see how that goes before doing the whole thing, hope this helps. ptimist:

Some people have used wallpaper borders to decorate the edges of the coroplast. That can look really cool.

Re the edible hut - I don't think they're all bad. The Hay Experts sell them and I was under the impression that they only sell items that are safe. I wouldn't have thought this would be made with honey.

Since this post I have used a type of black poster board to cover the outside of the cage. They don't nibble on it at all. It came out really good. I should probably get some pictures up. The hut that you showed me is different than the one I had bought. The one I bought is called a snak shak. Here is the link... 8 in 1 Ecotrition Snak Shak House Small at PETCO

I bought the bigger one though. I'm going to return it though. I made them a different house and am planning on making them a hammock. I want to put it on the second floor but they are like scared to go to it. I guess I just need to make it more exciting and then they'll go. They may just not be comfortable enough yet.
