Chewing bedding

Dora's been chewing harder pieces of Carefresh on and off. Not like stuffing it in her cheeks, but sitting down and methodically chewing it, ripping some pieces off. I'm a little worried if she's confusing it for food for some reason (though she ate actual food after). I didn't notice this behavior in her while she lived with Leela--she's changed after Leela moved out in some ways.

Do you think it's okay? I don't think she's chewing much of it, more like part of one piece here and there, but then I don't monitor her 24 hours. I'm not even sure she's ingesting it or just breaking up to store in her pouches.

my kevin does that with the big pieces of megazorb, he loves shredding them, at first i was worried too bt i think he just enjoys ripping them to bits lol, i dont think he stores them or anything though, but he does it alot and hes fine.

It's probably just a pastime for her now she's on her own. Robos love to shred things, if I put a piece of loo roll in they set upon it and rip it to bits

There are many loo rolls in Dora's cage! She mostly sleeps in them and runs through them. But apparently the bedding is more fun to chew

Ah no I mean just a sheet on it's own
