Does anyone know of anything i can use to deter my piggies from gnawing on the skirting boards? I know they love to chew but i would like to minimize the damage as we live in a rental property!

Thanks :)

When I read the thread title I assumed you had a plague of Guinea Pigs:hihi: You could get them little Hannibal Lecter style face masks.

Don't let them run around the room???

all i can say it give them more they CAN chew on , mine used to chew like mad, generaly it can be down to boredom aswell so try thinking up new toys, make sure they have wood blocks to keep teeth down and plenty of hay,and like i say try new toys

mine chew on anything and everything we have them in our livingroom for a run and what we do is , use a small run type pen which is appox 6ft by 4ft.

Lemon juice :)

A plague of guinea pigs, now that would be fun! Thanks Peaches, i shall give lemon juice a try.

we have a plague of them as we have 10 all healthy girlies lol running round and round here.

Teeny that must be very noisey! Just two boys and the rustle of a plastic bag sets them going! :D

You could give something like this a go?
