Question
Hello, I am a frist time owner of my pets and they are Chewing everything... I bought them this ball with a bell in it that pet smart (the place i got them) said they would love and they ripped the ball out of it??? and they keep fliping there little pink house... Why is that... Are they now happy. I watched them once and one was running after the other and they fliped it.. Or one will get on the house.. Are they not happy with it??? Or do they not like each other??? thank you

Answer
Hello Lynne,
chewing is perfectly normal and good for them. I think you should buy more chew toys. Do you have enough timothy hay for them to chew on? They are in always constant supply of something to chew on. They seem happy and healthy just want to chew on everything.
