Fur Chewer No Longer!

[Nimise]

Just thought I'd share some pics of a rescue I adopted that used to fur-chew due to neglect. I never cared that how he looked, but I'm so happy to see that he stopped fur-chewing that I had to do a photoshoot!

(sorry if the poses are a bit redundant, but I'm so proud of him that I wanted to get different angles of his fur)

Before (Nov. 2008)

Ta-da! April 2009

His fur is still a little rough in some places

But overall, I think he is beautiful

 

[addictedtochins]

Aw, I'm glad he is happy and knows he is loved!

 

[shetland]

Yes, he is just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Essentia]

That gives me hope for my chewer! Though, he's far from neglected and he actually started chewing in my care. Still have hope.

 

[andymilo]

awww!!! he is so sweet!!! im so happy you have given him a loving home!!! he deserves it!!! congrats!!! all the best!!

 

[Nimise]

I never really thought he'd grow it back, because it took about 2 or 3 months before anything grew back, but after a few tufts appeared it was all downhill from there

He is a big fan of Allie's fleece goodies! As you can see here...hehe

Mine too, but I'm not giving up either!

Congratulations on your guy. He is beautiful!

One that that helps as I've found with my girl who's a chewer in constantly giving 'new' toys and stuff to chew on instead of herself and her cagemates.


Congrats on the turnaround! Fur chewing can be a tough habit to break.

Tried it. He's continuing to get worse even with all the new toys that I switch out every other day and such.

Wow what an improvement. Obviously he is very happy with you now!!

He looks so cute all zonked out in his sleeping bag!
