Ok! Every time I walk Ruby she can't pass up any of the toasted earth worms in the side walk. She has to eat several of them as I beg her not to. Also when goingout in the yard any critter that she find she chews like true banquet. I don't understand this? Do your babies do this? I sure don't like the thought and don't approve od it.

This may sound gross but you asked...

When I was in my old apt, there was a waterbug (EEK! GROSS!) in my bedroom...All of a sudden I see Sammi pounce on something...This thing tried so hard to get away from her, she ripped its legs off and it scurried under the dresser with maybe 2 legs left...I washed her mouth right away...But she is a bug hunter...I HATEEEEEE BUGS!!! ICK!!!

Princess Hallie is the biggest bug hunter around! She will eat anything crawling on the ground (ewwww). Simon likes to chase the flying bugs. We have a lot of worms here in NY around my complex and as much as I try she always gets one or two or five. I brush her teeth a million times a day

Maddie-Rudy-Mom · 08-16-2005, 08:28 PM

Rudy is my worm eater, Polly loves to play with junebugs, and Maddie just looks at bugs and doesn't bother them, unless they are dead in the grass, then they all take a turn rubbing on it, usally the day they have just had a bath

Both my girls have been stung in the mouth by bee's. That pretty much cured them of bug eating. Now they just watch them...lol

Eeeeewwwwww! Bugs! I am always amazed at what picky eaters they can be sometimes and then they eat bugs!! Go figure!

bchgirl · 08-17-2005, 04:39 AM

I am fairly certain if they sold bags of bugs for dogs to eat and I bought a bag......Trace would decide he didn't like them any more

He really likes to play with them, batting and pouncing on them. Then he tries picking it up, he'll spit it back out and move it with his paw, trying to get it to "go" again. Unfortunately, he doesn't understand you can't pick up a bug and it still survive..........

golfwidow14 · 08-17-2005, 04:45 AM

Samson will paw at bugs and then get them in his mouth and throw them and then go chase it. Usually it's ants but he's done it with other bugs too. He also catches moths while their flying around (pretty talented huh!) and he plays with those until their like half dead and not moving anymore.

red · 08-17-2005, 05:23 AM

Both my Molly and Barney eat anything that flies
moths are their fav but first they have to hunt
and then play with them This has been going
on for months now with no obvious ill effects
Lotsa luck! RED
