Fur biting
My boy appears to be biting the girl's fur, but i dont find much fur on the floor. Any idea what they are trying to do? or its just normal habits? Advice needed
thanks

it could be a habit due to boredom or it maybe teeth problem.
Try give some toys such as a calcium block or chew woods for him.

I doubt it is teeth problem. Perhaps it could be due to boredom coz i think 30 mins outdoor isnt long enough? I have put some wooden toys inside and its almost chewed up
Btw, they have some bad habit. Sometimes they chew on the cat litter as though they are pellets and they seems to think that the white calcium block is actually dust bath. haha. Coz they will roll like what they did in dustbath after some calcium particles fell on the floor.

For the bedding , i find they normally stop doing so after a while. Just make sure that its non toxic etc. Corn cob is also not safe for them..
For the calcium issue, i have heard of it happening to other people's chins and don't think there is anything you can do to try to stop this behaviour except of bathe them more often. |

I'm using breeder's celect, so thats not a problem. But i didnt put the calcium block overnight as im afraid that the particles might get into their eyes when they roll against it. Any other recommendations to replace the calcium block? btw what do u mean by bathe? dust or water? oh ya, do i water bathe them if the bottom is stained with urine? ![]()

mean dust bath.
I don't give calcium blocks as i feel that their diet is adequate. As long as their teeth are nice and orange, i don't give calcium. Too much calcium is bad for them as it will lead to stones. |
