Is this normal behaviour???
She has plenty chew toys aswell which she does chew on & I encourage her to chew on those instead of everything else in sight! lol!

Puppies eat everything they see, including any and all moving critters they can get - along with anything else they can get in their mouths - including buttons, human pills, batteries and needles and you name it. Instinctively, they see moving objects as prey and most everything else as food! It's best to not let them eat insects or rodents as we don't know what diseases and germs they might carry, in addition to pesticides or other toxins they might have ingested or have on their exoskeletons/ bodies.
Puppies are just like crawling babies and the house/yard have to be puppy-proofed and you must absolutely watch them like hawks to prevent them from getting into all kinds of trouble! Good luck!
