eating weird stuff

[kralspace]

Ok, I’m used to seeing Toby stuff his face with wet catfood when my back is turned, yuck. Daisy chews his nails down so I never have to clip them. Charlie is always trying to shred the sheetrock off the walls.

This morning I picked Pringles up for a cuddle and a growl and smelled cherry on her breath. I checked under the chair she’d been sleeping under and found the wrapper and some tiny bits of a Hall’s cherry cough drop (I’ve been living off of them for a month now with allergies). She seems ok and licks her lips like she’s smacking. Wierd rabbit, now I’ll have to watch my purse. At least it was sugar free.

What’s the strangest food addiction your bun has?

Add to that, they’ve eaten 2 purses, one dress shoe and every recharging cord ever brought into this house.

LOL – your buns do have some strange eating habits.

I sometimes catch Bobby eating my bird’s seeds that he drops from the cage. Birdy is messy!

Toffee & Bogart love their acidophilus tablets.

Ha ha that’s funny. Both of my bunnies love eating yoga mats. Not just chewing them up, but actually ingesting them. I have to put my mat away the moment I’m finished using it.

lol your buns do have some odd habits

Powder and Stickers have a few – they tried to depaper the wall in their room. Anything that hits the floor is Powder bait, he rushes to try to eat it, no matter what it is. Both of them try to break into my birds seed (though it’s sealed so they can’t) and I have to keep the area vacuumed so they can’t scrounge up seeds off the ground. And anything rubber has to be hidden, or it will be lost down Powders stomach, especially remote control buttons.

Sounds like the dog eating chewed up gum that was thrown in the trash. LOL
I try to keep stuff out of the buns’ reach. Not too hard since they are usually just in one room.

Was the cough drop mentholated? i cant imagine that would be tasy for a bun….but who knows. lol One time Bud got into my yarn bag and ate a hole through my knitting…little stinker!

oh, that’s funny. My old mare was bad about picking through trash cans. She had a stall at the local rodeo grounds and after an event, she’d turn all the big trash barrels over and pick out old food, cigarette butts and lick the beer cans….lol. I was forever walking her all night with colic.

One year we had a BarBQ cookoff at the grounds, she managed to open her stall door and was wandering the grounds by herself wearing only a halter. By the time I got the call and tracked her down, she had visited all the booths and people were putting kids up on her for photos! She was mooching snacks and beer off people and they thought she was part of the entertainment.

Mine ate strawberry bubble gum. I was sick one day and totally out of it. I put the package of gum on top of a garbage bag filled with paper to be thrown away. Woke up hours later to go potty when I looked down and saw the various remnants of bubble gum wrappers. Thought it was strange but went to the bathroom, came back and went back to sleep. When I finally woke up for good (well, a little while at least) I picked up Eddie. Who had bubble gum stuck to his chin. LOL I called the vet and they had to call me back for an answer on what to do about it. And they were all kind of chuckling cause they’d never had heard of a rabbit eating gum before. And it NEVER occurred to me that they’d actually eat the blasted stuff. LOL

FYI – The vet’s answer was that as long as it wasn’t whitening gum, they should be fine. They could’ve had either little poops or sludgebutt but that didn’t happen. The whitening ingredient is toxic to all animals.

Eddie was a goat and would eat anything. Plastic, the buttons off the remote, potatoes, fried wonton shells, popcorn, tried to steal a chicken nugget once. Thank God Lolli’s more picky. LOL
