chews...Other than the Lava Bites, sticks and flavored wood?
« on: January 23, 2010, 08:44:19 AM »

My chins go through these like there is no tommorrow...

http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/prod/202176/product.web?gdftrk=xh23lc0p/7HDy~g3JgKLczeusaZ7r0Yf8Q97M400m2qVYI0ulTus63ZGp0jesCF7dNW05Uv838WWeJpaPbE~1F9H4tbEd0nOZBQGvrGT~vcqBvL7ZIVeCkkB1ULiinCBz/lor37XxdixvIerQBUVlg__

The sticks that have holes in them that hang on the metal toy thingy...they chew but aren't "crazy" about. And the flavored  wooden chews...they will chew but not often.

This they loved...but it had a plastic holder. That they didn't mess with due to loving it. But it is imbedded on the holder so they do chew down to plastic. By the next morning it was GONE!

Their teeth are fine...but I worry that they only prefer mostly  the lava bites over the rest.


Anything else I can try to offer them?

My chins loved eatting those lava bites, I used to buy a lot of them when we lived in Alaska. I tried to stay way from plastic holding chew thingies. Now I have been feeding them oxbow treats, they love them a long with the lava bites.

they should be fine as long as they're getting timothy hay everyday. for the sake of keeping them occupied though, my boys love like the wooden sticks that petsmart sells or the sliced pieces of wood. they also love the apple flavored wooden sticks.
