Hi! This is a great group. Thanks for being here.
My Maya has developed a habit that I have been unable to break her from, and it appears to be getting worse: She likes to chew on plastic bags. Also, she LOVES the opportunity to get at the strips of tape that are used for sealing shipping boxes. She eats it. I have found remnants in her stool. No matter how much I admonish her (I use the word "no"--that's it--no squirt bottles or corporal punishment), she will not stop. In fact, she doesn't think there's a thing wrong with her little addiction. I'm concerned for her health.
Any of you have any experience with this? Is she lacking something in her diet? Is it boredom? How do I get her to stop?
Thanks!
