[QUOTE=GhostBella;955677]Chewing is a geneticly natural behaviour its not a choice, they don't just decided they don't want to chew. She might be wearing her teeth down enough on her food or on things in her cage you just haven't noticed. If shes not chewing aswell as not eating then I'd take her to the vet as she might be in pain in her mouth or teeth!
I never see mine chew yet her teeth are not over grown at all, her yearly vet check 3wks ago confirmed her teeth are perfect!
Make sure you have plenty of thints she can chew on and she will when she needs too.
