Hopefully if/when our guinea pig chews the cloth it'll be better for her digestive system than straight up plastic. UPDATE: We have used binder clips to put fleece along the plastic edges of the cage.

We have no idea why, especially since our other guinea pig (who's perfectly healthy) doesn't eat plastic. We've tried giving her a variety of better things to chew on (willow sticks, carrots, hay, pellets, and while it's not the best a cardboard box should be better than plastic), but she still insists on plastic. How do we stop her from doing so? She's been sick for the past week (constipation + diarrhea), and while we got it under control thanks to medicine from the vet, I'm concerned that her plastic consumption is making it worse, and/or may have been a cause (since she's been eating plastic for months despite us scolding her and nudging her away/picking her up when she eats plastic). My family's guinea pig has a habit of chewing on the plastic of her cage, both the siding and the castles. We are committed to breaking the chain of neglect, abuse, and abandonment."
