| Shes Chewing the wall! Hello all, My Effie went through phase about 4 months ago, where she tore a hole in my wall while scratching and biting. I fixed it with plaster and kept a box on the wall. I decided to take the box away, thinking she had forgotten about it, but last night she was going to town on the wall, and before i had realized what she was doing there was another hole, in the same spot! Ive heard to rub Jalapeno pepper on the wall, which im a little uncomfortable doing, I would hate to have an allergic reaction! Someone else told me to put black pepper on the carpet. Anyone have a safe remedy to get her from chewing on this particular part of the wall? She has plenty of toys to chew etc... she also has a favorite part of the carpet she likes to scratch at. Many thanks for and adivise! Thank you |

| Bella does the same thing! I'm afraid to leave her alone for 5 minutes. I've tried the bitter apple but if she's not using her mouth, she's using her nails. She also does the same thing with the carpet and eating the carpet pieces. I've been covering the spot she likes but I would love to just make it stop. Any suggestion would help. Also, I was told that if the paint has lead in it...it's normally a sweet taste and that's why they like the eating it. |

| I'm not sure what you could put on there to work, but you could also try a bone or bully stick to keep her occupied for a little while. |

| My Rocky loves to chew on anything & everything....hubby & I were thinking of trying the bitter apple....Rocky especially loves chewing my rugs in the bathroom & the door stoppers. Not sure why though, he too, has plenty of things to chew on!
