Chewing on plastic...

[Dan]

I don't know what it is with Scooter, but he has a fascination with plastic. We can't leave a grocery sack or dry cleaning bag out anywhere. He'll immediately start chewing on it, can't be good for him. We keep all the plastic away from him, but he hunts it down.

Yesterday, Sugar got the small hand vacuum out of out hall closed, and 30 seconds later I see Scooter half in the closet with his head down. I get up to close the door, and he's ripping up a plastic bag that was on the floor of the closet.

It worries us that he'll eat a bunch and make him sick. Just can't figure out what the fascination is with the stuff...

Oh MAN!! I hear you Dan! Tag is so bad with plastic ( they all are) but he will chew on the plastic milk container or even a water jug and put holes in them.. If I don't put them away immediately I find a fountain of what ever is in the container all over the place, just squirting out! As for the plastic grocery bags?? I have to keep the squirt gun handy when I bring grocery's home.. I don't get it either!
It can kill them if it gets stuck in their throats! I think they like the noise, it sure can't be the taste!
