They smuggle bark chips in and hide them under the couch for snacking on later. They found a pencil a few days ago and took it under the couch and ate it! By the time I figured out what they were doing, all that was left was the eraser! I hope it doesn't harm them.
| Oh! So it was YOU that taught him! LOL JK! I dont think its anything to worry too much about, but like you I am worried about thier digestive system. Eatting sticks and twigs can't feel good going in or comming out:eek:. I think pencils are pretty non toxic for the most part now days but if you notice a diference I would call the vet. Lead poisoning is nothing to fool around with, but do we even use real lead in our pencils? For some reason I remember reading lead was not used anymore? I wonder what they have aginst erasers! I think my two would have eaten that too!:D |
