Default Re: Bar Chewing

Esme went through a bar-chewing phase, so I cut a lot of rings of toilet paper tubes, strung them on sisal string and tied them to the bars across where she was chewing. She attacked them ferociously, which did her no harm, then took lots of the bits back to her nest.

When the rings get a bit tatty, I just cut some more & thread them on the string. Although there's plenty of other places she could chew the mesh, she seems content to chew the cardboard.

Before I discovered that the rings worked, I used to stroke her nose when she was chewing, and told her off very gently. The guilty look on her face when I did that was precious!
