Please don't hit him, you could cause serious problems and later aggression. You say that you don't want to do it, trust those feelings. Joey was a chewer too; I kept him confined to an x-pen (like a large play pen) unless my eyes were glued to him. He had favorite objects he liked to chew, and I sprayed those with a product called "Bitter Apple". It works well if you use it before they get accustomed to chewing on the object. One wicker container he especially loved and I had to spray that several times. Also, don't let him have access to any rooms that have electrical cords like lamp cords that he can reach. He can electrocute himself if he chews through a cord. There are cord covers you can buy. Also, get him plenty of chewing sticks and toys, he's just like a baby who is teething, and his gums hurt. |
