Chewing on the walls hello to everyone. I have a little problem with my two boys, one is 18 mo and the other is 6 mo. The little one is gnawing on our walls and eating the paint. Im using Tropiclean Stay Away, Bitter Lime Gel and another that smells like grass but they seems to like it. Is there a safe deterrent that can be used on the wall to stop them ?. |
Several of mine went thru the chew a hole in he wall stage. Bitter apple didn't work so someone said clear deodorant. |
Kimchee chewed up a big corner of my rented apartment wall when I went out for groceries. I put bitter apple and it worked. He never chew any wall anymore, now he is grown up, so no more problem for me. I would suggest you to use an x-pen/playpen (in the kitchen, for example), so it will confine them and avoid them in contact with anything (eg. walls, wood cabinet, electric sockets, etc.). Good luck! |
I'm glad to know that Yoda's not the only one to due this he will be 2 this month and still occasionally will peel the wallpaper off the wall in my Mom's hallway and he put holes on the corners. Bitter apple didn't work for us though. |
I would suggest an xpen/playpen as well. Alot of times it's a sign of anxiety, especially if it's happening when you are out. Wrigley chewed baseboards, windowsills, etc.. |
When Zankou began to do this , I went to a petstore and bought cat repellent for outdoor . Believe me he had the surprise of his life and never touched the wall or something else . |
I'm glad it isn't just my two! They even do it when I'm in. And they've got the Skyes joining in! Between them they've excatated a hole nearly big enough for me to crawl through in the hallway. Eaten all the paper & plaster off so it's down to bare stone :confused: We live in an old cottage & the sitting room has exposed stone on some of the walls, my last Yorkie had a passion for licking out the mortar between the stones. :rolleyes: xx Emmy |
thanks for your replies |
