For the last couple of days, Bandit a 1 1/2 year old female has tried to add some very strange things to her diet - including a cardboard tube, the racket sack, the velcro strips holding the tee-pee closed, and the fake fleece inside the tee-pee are the things I've seen her sample (who knows what she's tasted in private!). She's not just chewing, when she can she's tearing pieces off - I think to eat. I checked her teeth (thinking her wierd behavior was rather like teething) but they look fine. Maybe it's dietary? I thought maybe she might be a little constipated, and seeking fiber so I've been giving her som elaxatone - but that hasn't changed anything. Any one's help is appreciated, it is getting very difficult to watch her so closely! About the FML being posted on rec.pets - maybe our discussions are a bit premature. As far as I've seen, nobody has posted there either way. I suppose we could continue discussions about the pros and cons, but if the general reading audience of rec.pets isn't interested should be press the issue? Before anyone agrees/argues with this - please help me with Bandit, before she eats the rug!! Andi & Bandit (Everyone else has been sticking to more edible food!) [Posted in FML issue 1077]
