| Chewing on leather only, Please Help Hi, I am having a BIG problem with my Bunny chewing on leather. I have tried Buddy Bones, thinking she just wants to chew.. I have tried taking it away from her and giving her something she can have.I did that so many times one day she tossed her cookies I am a stay at home wife, so she is never left alone or bored... she sneaks off when I am either in the bath room or checking on dinner and goes up stairs to chew on my husband belt, shoes, anything she can find that is leather. Its come to a point where if I need to check on food or go the bath room I have to put her on her leash or bring her with me. I dont know what else I can do. Everything I can think of, is off the ground, behind a door she cant get to...Or its out of reach.. But some HOW she is getting to it and chew it up. It driving me crazy trying to get her to stop When I go back to the Texas I am going to bring her to my vet there, to see if its maybe a vitamin thing or something.. But has any one else have this problem or something like it?? Its driving me crazy!! |

| Leather? Yum Yum. LOL! Seriously, leather is the *perfect* chew toy for pups. I haven't met a dog yet who didin't like it. I think your best bet is to keep all leather out of reach. You may have to make "leather patrols" around your house a couple times a day to be sure that there's none handy.

| I do make sure everything is off the ground she cant have, But some how she still gets to it. Its to a point she cant even go into my closet and I keep everything on the top shelf, but she still some how gets a hold of it. I dont get why she HAS to have the leather all the time. I NEVER EVER let her play with anything leather. She has been doing this for about 5 months now and I dont get why. She dose more then just chew on it she eats it. I dont think leather shoes, watch band, and belt are good for dogs to eat. THats why I am THINKING Its a vitamin thing.. But I am not sure.. She used to eat poo some times and I talk to my vet and he said it was a vitamin thing and gave me a list of food, that would help stop it and she is better now... So I am thinking it might be the same.. I guess I am going to have to wait and go to my vet and see... |
