chew.. chew chew chew

[neters]

i can't figure it out. opie is chewing *everything.* he claw's too, but in
the past 4 days he's started this chewing frenzy. he chewed my desk up (yes,
my desk, if i had a digital camera i'd take pictures). he chews the
blankets, sheets, clothes, fedex box, sofa pillows, recliner chair, my
fingers, wires. he was just at the vet 10 days ago and was put on
antibiotics for his uri - he goes back monday evening. i've checked his
mouth and all looks healthy in there. we have a chinchilla also, milo, and
at first i thought my desk was chewed up by him until my bf informed me he
caught opie in the act. any ideas?

How old is he? If he's a youngster, maybe he's teething?

My Caley chews stuff. She chewed two holes in my grandmother's damask
tablecloth the night after Thanksgiving last year. My mother was
practically in tears when she saw it. She (Caley, not my mother!) chews
the thumbs off all my oven mitts. I sometimes give her those dried
pigs' ears to chew to protect my stuff.

Sebbie has gotten into broom straws. I frequently find him at the
broom, chewing off another one.

Beats me what it's about.

he's 13/14 weeks old. im hoping it's teething - that's what i've been
thinking it is. i just bought that feliway diffuser today, maybe that and
his toys will keep him preoccupied and away from the wood things!

Try the pigs ears. My cats love them! You can even find low-fat ones
at some places. *boggle*

It's gotta be better for them if they ingest small bits. Oh, and the
pigs' ears will be ingested. It'll just take a long time and keep them
busy in the process.

Really? I've wondered about those. I see them in bins at Petco. Mine like to
chew on thin plasicky things. I've wondered if those might not be good for
their teeth.

Really? I've wondered about those. I see them in bins at Petco. Mine like to
chew on thin plasicky things. I've wondered if those might not be good for
their teeth.

I generally take my ginsu knife and slice them lengthwise into skinnier
pieces so they can get a better grip on them.
