Any way to discourage whisker chewing?

[ReneeM]

I know that whisker chewing is a dominance behavior. My girl Marika has been chewing her mother's whiskers off since she was six weeks old.

While Marika has nice long whiskers:

She has chewed her mom's down to nothing:

Is there a way to discourage Marika from doing this?

I'm not sure it bother's Mira, but she looks so pathetic without whiskers

Marika is the dominant chin in this situation, and she is chewing Mira's whiskers down to show that dominance.

maybe cut back Marika's whiskers? i haven't had to do this myself with my boys, but i have read here on the forum that cutting back the dominant chin's whiskers can help to lessen the dominance.

didn't you recently have these chins bickering over food? adding the additional food bowls and hay containers to the cage may have helped, it may just take some time to see Mira's whiskers grow back.

and no, the stubby whiskers most likely don't bug Mira at all.
