Hi I was wondering if any of you also had a cavie who is OBSESSED with eating grass. Jack was 2 years in December and ever since I got him (@12 weeks) he has been obsessed with eating grass. I always take more notice of this as the weather gets nicer and the grass comes out. Jack has been tested for everything and his "only" problem is CM (as if that's not enough) I have had dogs in the past that enjoyed grass but Jack will stop and eat small sprouts growing from cracks in the sidewalk and if we are near a patch of grass, you will never see his face because he has his head down grazing the entire time. He is constantly pulling me over to any blade of grass he sees. It is so bad that walking him becomes a constant struggle. I feed him high quality dog food, supplemented with veggies daily. I even tried growing a pot of organic grass in my home but while he chows done on it, he is still crazy about the outside grass.
Anyone else experience this or know of anything that can lessen this obsession?
I have told both my neuro vet and regular vet. Regular vet says he is healthy with no GI issues (btw his stool is always in good form and his appetite is good) Neuro vet sees no correlation to grass eating and his CM.
