Do your skirting boards look like this???  Well what you need is some heavy duty velcro and pine moulding! The velcro can be purchased at most craft stores or fabric shops and the pine moulding from your hardware store. Most DIY place pine moulding is kiln dried so ideal for your little monsters to chew instead of the skirting. Just affix the velcro to the wood and skirting and voila! protected skirting that the goo's can nibble and the velcro is removable when you want your room back to normal. Obviously it's too late for me  but it looks a lot neater now!! ( and I can hide it from hubby ;D)   |

BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it . . . and especially how you start out . . . "Do your skirting boards look like this?" Almost expected to hear you next say, "just wipe them down with our miracle product and your skirting boards will look like new!!" LOL!!

That's brilliant!  I'm sure that will be useful for loads of people! It should be easy enough to pick a profile and attachment point that should work whatever type of skirting boards you have. I was wondering how the strip at the bottom worked for the goos, but I figured out eventually that's a trim for your laminate floor |

Lol DC if there was such a miraculous product I'd be first in the queue!! ;D Yup that's laminate floor trim molette mind you it does really fox the googles!! They can't quite get their teeth into it due to the inward curve, hours of frustration, scraping and teeth chattering at the nasty trim, how dare it be there?! Lol. The laminate flooring in the goo room has been a godsend tho, stopped Pepper putting holes in the carpet.  |

i spent ages sanding down my door (behind which was where the food was kept) and then re-painting so I could get the deposit....this is a geius idea as I have used off cuts of carpet, which doesn't look ver good but the boys like trying to climb up it

You have just saved my whole bedroom xD
Thank you so much for this- infact I might do all my skirting boards in the house this way, just because it looks so nice! (I have terrible boards :c )
Genius C:

this will help sooooo much when i get my new room,
unfortunately this won't work with walls in rented houses where they are only allowed to be there because they are supposedly tidy....
Oh well I just hope that when I leave they won't notice the little bite marks!

This is brilliant, I wish I had an idea like this when I purchased my place... it would've saved some of my base boards from the chinchillas. Lol. Yes, even though my chinchillas each have playpens, they are spoiled by getting run time outside of their playpens. As for the degus, they have a huge playpen with about 20 feet of PVC piping connected to it for them to run in and out of.
