Chewing My guinea pig is eating cloth.

[parekhmanan28]

Help! I just adopted a little girl ( 2 months) and she seems to be nibbling on cloth and then eating it. Is it normal? Will this cause intestinal blockages? If this isn't normal, how do I prevent her from doing it?

Yes, it will cause intestinal blockages. And you prevent it by taking the cloth out of the cage. Fleece is about the only cloth that pigs won't generally eat, and it doesn't ravel.

Here's some recommended reading for new pig owners:
