I bought spot one of these today at petco - http://www.petco.com/product/108635...hillas-Carrot-Chews.aspx?CoreCat=OnSiteSearch
It said long lasting and was pretty hard so I put it in his cage along with some other new stuff. When I went back to check on him not too long after (maybe 2 hrs at the most) the whole darn thing was gone! He ate it and the thing is pretty big! He is NOT a chewer so I never would have thought he would inhale it! So, I decided I will never buy one of those things again but now I am concerned how much he ate. He never gets treats. Just hay, veggies and pellets. I am scared this will through him into GI issues.... Later today he was nibbling on shredded paper from his litter box which I never see him do (only have had him 5 weeks). He has been eating really well and was excited about his pellets tonight. He also is pooping normally right now. If it is going to cause an issue how long would it take to show up? I am going to give him a fresh litter box tonight so I can keep track of his poops. grrrrr, why did he have to eat the entire thing!
