Cleaning the cube out today, I noticed some very strange damage, that wasn't there a few days ago.

It looks like someone has been round many of the edges with a craft knife and kind of cut off the corners

(maybe it needs a picture to explain?)

 

There are no teeth marks, and it's all the way round the back edge (the pink bit), with a little on the front

 

Any ideas?

 

Assuming this *is* something chewing my initial thought is to put something that tastes/smells bad (like teatree oil perhaps) on the cube at a deterrent - but would this damage/degrade the plastic?

 

It's weird because it's such a long. smooth 'cut' - about as good a job as I'd do if I actually did for some reason take a craft knife to the corners of the eglu and cut off a long thin strip all round - am boggled!

Not being funny, but are you sure this wasn't there before? The Eglu and Cube are all 'finished' or fettled after they come out of the mould, and some of them show this type of finishing. If it was a critter then I'd expect to see tooth marks.

I was asking myself exactly that all day Dogmother!

But I'm 99.5% sure that this is new - there are a few nicks and one little 'track' gouge too

I'll get a pic

I'll be very pleased if it's just me who's been very u"Ooops, word censored!"servant for a couple of months
