Buford the Bad at it again...

[sausage4ever]

Hi Guys

I'm just wondering what I can do to stop Buford from chewing his cage bars? I let him out most days but he ends up getting in all sorts of crap so he's usually the first to go back. He's only chewing at night which is a bit of an issue considering the boys are a metre from my bed. He's quite quiet about it but it's kinda unnerving knowing he's bunging up the FN :lol2: .

Thanks a bunch

I don't know if anything can be done about the munching the cage. Does he have buddies with him?

If you find an answer, let me know. I have one of those as well. ffft:

Yes he has his brother and the SkinKids in with him not to mention he at least gets cuddles everyday...Oh and I almost forgot that he's one the only ones who uses the wheel...I think he just likes being a bother :roll:

It's not so bad but I worry that it maybe unhealthy chomping back all that paint :sick2:

What do you do when you see him chewing the cage bars?

I don't think there's anything you can do, he'd just rather be out.

The best solution (for lack of a better word because its not a full solution) I found for my bar chewer was rotating toys. Even something as simple as moving a hammock or adding a new paper towel roll or kleenex box would keep my guy from being tempted to chew the bars. Also my cage was near my desk so he would chew alot more when I was at my desk just trying to get my attention so maybe moving your cage further from your bed might help?

I rotate his the cage twice a week, but I'll try letting him more that's as much as I can do.
