| I don't know if they are bad or not, but mine are the same way. Zoe will chew until it is all gone if you let her. Mia just can't eat one as fast as Zoe can. I usually take them away after they eat half of one. If not they would consume the whole thing. Telea, Zoe and Mia Grace |

| She doesn't need to be eating a whole flossie a day and definitely not two a day. I've started buying the bully stix instead of the flossies because I have a hard time finding really thick flossies and she chews them down faster. Lacy will normally chew an inch or two of a bully stick a day. I wouldn't let her chew more than half of one a day. Too much of one can cause an upset tummy and diarrhea, and they can be fattening. Also, you should always throw the last inch or so away so it doesn't get swallow - causing her to possibly choke or get a blockage.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | two a day is definitely too many. they shouldn't even consume one a day. its just way to fattening for them. also if you let them chew on something like that unattended they could choke.
