When Dust gnaws on the wooden puzzle toy I got her I never see any shavings once she's done. It looks like she even stops between bites to chew the shavings with her molars and swallow.
Right now the wooden toy, ladders, and house are in the freezer while we wait another 2 weeks till we're finally rid of lice (I got them a plastic wheel and a washable fleece ball to play with so they don't get too bored), but should I even give this puzzle toy back if she's actually eating it?
I can't imagine it's a common thing.. for a rat to literally EAT a chew toy, but Dust certainly appears to be doing so. She does the same with toilet paper, cardboard, and other chewable things. I search, but I can never find any shavings or ripped up bits of paper when she's done.
Are there any healthy edible toys I could give to her, that wont cause constipation or any other problems if she happens to ingest them?
