The previous owner wasn't even feeding her hay and as a result she won't eat it! I've tried leaving only hay in her cage, I've mixed it with her food, and now I'm looking for chewing alternatives. It's easy to find fibrous foods to give her in place of the hay's fiber, but what about wearing down her teeth? I've heard of giving them paper rolls, paper bags, cardboard, and wood blocks. I've tried to give her toilet paper rolls to chew on, but she doesn't seem interested. She is going to the bathroom normally and the lack of hay doesn't seem to be affecting her tummy. I'm just worried about her teeth. The previous owner gave her whole apples and carrots to gnaw on, but I'm not sure that that is an adequate chewing replacement?
The only thing she does with the hay is pick it out of my hand and toss it on the ground, and when it's in her cage she goes to the bathroom on it, as well as, in her litter box...:bawl:
