Title: Lexy is eating things again!!!! Poop!
Post by: Kittybabe (Ruth) on August 15, 2008, 22:17:22 PM
For those of you who know... she's at it again!

For those of you who don't... there is a history!

Episode 1: eating a piece of blue string... http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,5468.0.html

Episode 2: when I thought she ate a pompom... http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,15251.html - ok so this one was me panicking.. BUT

She's done it again. And this time I know she did because I saw her do it. Lexy has eaten the tail of Da Mousey  >:( and I mean the WHOLE tail! I thought she would spit it up since she's furbally this week, but no. Now I have to go on poo watch again.  :sick:

I can think of other things I should be doing other than examining poo. Seriously.  :-:

She's ok for now, looks happy and isn't behaving differently but I guess I have to watch her.

Isn't there a mantra or some kind of prayer out there that gives people strength because I seriously need some.  >:(

I wouldn't worry too much Ruth, the boys have got through about 7 'da mice' and none of them had tails after the first day.  The tails on my ones have always been leather so just the same as eating a real mouse I'd imagine.

Give her a gentle  :care: from me and the boys just in case  :)

Thanks Helen.  Kinda gives me hope knowing the boys have eaten a few.  :tired:

Cannot stand that she just eats whatever she can get her teeth into. She's still playing with the tailless Da Mousey.  :evillaugh:

We've been through several da mouseys here too and they usually lose their tails within a day or two  ;D

Well I've been cleaning all day, rearranging furniture and found a HUGE poo in the tray so won't see anything until at least tomorrow for her. Fingers crossed a mangled bit of leather pops out. She's fast asleep now after the stress of the hoover being on a good portion of the morning  :Luv2:

I have cleaned up two fairly normal and sized, hydrated poops from the tray since yesterday. I can only assume it came out with them  :sick:

Clearly the madam is fine because she was zooming all over the house at 4am. How one tiny pipsqueak can sound like a herd of elephants I don't know!!!

Whenever I buy Willow toy mice, I always yank the tail to se how easily it comes off - usually they come of first time  :scared:

I have to watch her with plastic. We had some black bags before that had a thin blue plastic drawstring. I saw the end of one sticking out of her mouth and had to gently pull it out  :sick:
