Eating fleece tube

[2manypets]

I saw cocoa bean trying to pull the fleece off his tube so I went over and saw they had chewed a small hole in the fleece and a small piece of the pvc tube had been bitten off. Should I take the tube out so they can't chew on it anymore?

Edit-I just took it out to see how much was chewed and they ate a lot more of it than I thought.

from what i know chewing on fleece is bad so yes you should take it out

I would take out that tube. Tanya sells steel tubes. You can try one with fleece on it. If they are still chewing at the fleece, take it off. They will just have a plain steel tube.

Have you tried the cardboard tubes?

Do he chew other fleece?

If he is chewing on a pvc tube he will destroy a cardboard tube. I would not get one for him. I think a steel tube will last much longer.

I was thinking of trying a chube but I don't want to have to replace it all the time.

They don't seem to be chewing on the hammocks or fleece house.

Remove the pieces that he is chewing on and make sure that he has plenty of good things to chew. As long as he leaves the other stuff alone, it is ok to leave it in there.
