Yes, I have heard about others' warnings that antler chews are too hard. I've also read up on the differences between elk and deer antlers too, where one is harder/softer than the other.

For my two little ones, I noticed that they use the antlers more for slow grinding rather than direct chomping/chewing. They kind of put their whole body into it, kind of in a thrusting motion. It's hilarious. They particularly like the one that is halved, where they grind into the centre for the bone marrow. Regardless, they get tired of it pretty quick and so far it seems they're pretty picky on chews - if it's too hard, they have zero interest in it.
She was 5 when it happened and had, had them since she was a pup.
