at the minute Sheldon is 10 months old and over the last few weeks has started chewing things. In the past hes chewed string and elastic from his toys but now he's chewing anythin he can get his hands on from tapemeasures to ornaments to my shoes jst anythin. i've had a look at his teeth and there seems to be nothing wrong and hes still eating.
Does anyone have any ideas why this may be?

thanx in advance for replies

Have you looked in his mouth - maybe he's teething his big back teeth or has a tooth issue.

I don't know what to suggest because he is going for EVERYTHING by the sounds of it
Make sure that you do not leave him alone with trailing cables and wires.

Waffles likest o claw the mastick from our windows and eat that we have tried everything to get her off of it and it really annoys me she isn't too fond if lemon juice - you could try wiping that over some of the things??

thanx ill try lemon juice especially on my shoes lol.
my partner was on his xbox the other night and Sheldon was biting his headset while he was wearing it lol.

if he is teething how could i help him to soothe the pain?

just thought i would also share this with you. waffles looks very similar to sheldon and when i was on here the other day my partner was curious and was reading some posts one was yours and he was like whats sheldon doin on someone elses picture and i was like of corse its not sheldon but yea it does look similar. hmm quite pointless story but anyway lol it made me laugh

aaaw that is great Sheldon must be very cute indeed then

maybe you need to discipline Sheldon a little more? Try a firm 'no' it takes a lot of effort but you will get there in the end.

I give Waffles three chances and then I isolate her for a little while. It works. I only have to say 'no' now and she stops.

i try i think he takes more notice when its 3 in the mornin and hes clickin at my quilt coz im tires and really cheesed off lol.
i did try the isolation thing when i was busy one day i put him in his pet carrier closed the door and faced it to the wall and told him to think about wat he'd done.

this made no difference he was like "who do you think you are puttin me in there pah"

i think il have to get a water bottle altho i do feel quite mean. i am a soft touch and he nos it

thanx tho

consider though - what is crueler - letting him bite through an electric wire and frying painfully to death OR a small bit of dampness on the face?

i no i shudnt have but i laughed at that.
i dnt no if you mean to be but some of your posts jst make me giggle.
but i no ill get one and even jst try and deter him with the sound
i hope he doesnt hold a grudge against me tho ha ha

Try and fill a tin can with coins and shake it when he shows bad behavior...then he will associate loud noise to his habit...and he may stop!! Just an idea!
