Hey,

Has anyone else's hoggies ever tried to eat kitchen towel? We had some in with Thistle last night and I saw her trying to nibble at it so I took it out. Then today, we tried to clean up some poo and as we did she grabbed hold of the kitchen towel and didn't want to let go.

Hey Laura, when i was having snuggles with my Mushroom at Helen's the past two times, he has actually grabbed at the kitchen roll and started tugging at it. Maybe Thistle is just trying new smells etc out and as Lou says, she might just be trying to take it into where she sleeps.

My Litle Miss Disy Splat does this most nights now so I just give her a piece to play with so she doesn't keep dragging it out of her litter tray.

Mushroom does indeed do this - usually it is as the are pulling it in to their nest box - try giving her just a piece to play with x

Paper is like eating hair or material so less likely to cause blockages - if unsure, put her wheel in a litter tray and use wooden cat litter pellets

They do like to drag it into their beds - clean or dirty - not fussy!

She has got wooden cat litter anyway but if it is safe then she can have some to play with. She does worry me, haha! I will keep an eye on her, if she does eat it then it will be taken out again.

Thanks guys!
