would really apprieciate any advice you can give me. I rescued 2 tri girls aged 8 & 4, who came to live with me and my 7 yr old blem. The 2 new girls had been used for breeding and had never been out of cages. The initial settling in process was going really well and all 3 where getting along fine, one thing I noticed was that now and again Daisy the 8yr old would try to eat the 4 yr olds faeces this only happened a few times and she was beginning to not bother.
Then KC 4yr old has had a rough time, spent time in hospital and is still on lots of medication and could possibly still loose one of her eyes, now since KC returned home Daisy has started trying to eat the faeces again and it can be difficult to make sure it is all cleared before she gets to it as sometimes poor KC is still performing the buisness and Daisy is there. Daisy will eat anything, paper, cotton wool, tissues, and tonight she even found a snail and devoured that!
She is not hungry and always eats all her food this behaviour seems to be getting worse and needs to be stopped as soon as I can. I worry she will eat something which will harm her, or she will get ill, apart from the YUCK factor!
Tonight also for the first time KC was about to join in with Daisy.
Daisy will stop this behaviour as soon as I say leave, and I clear up after each time but I seem to be spending so much time wondering the garden and checking I havent missed any as she is far better than me at finding the one small bit I didnt find, as you can imagine with 3 dogs thats quite a lot of wondering lol.
Please any suggestions on this
