Loofah Question

[Paws4Chins]

My 2 new Chins seem to like the loofah I put in there cage. They did not demolish right away but it has been going down in size. However, I do not see any crumbs or pieces to indicate they have been chewing on it. I was thinking they may be eating it. Can eating a loofah cause impaction or can they digest it in small amounts? For those of you that have Chins that chew on loofahs do they leave residue behind or do you just noticed it has been chewed on.

Loofah is fine to be eaten by a chin, it's a plant product so they digest it just like their food.

Mine definitely eat loofah and don't leaving shavings like they do with cardboard and wood. Totally normal.
