Bluie trying to bite/eat a paver?

Postby NickBrahz » Mon Apr 06, 2015 1:25 am

I turned the lights off about 5 minutes ago for my Bluie's seeings its night time, i heard a weird sound so i turned my room light on and my newest bluie Myra, was trying to bite the paver that i have in there, not al ittle nibble she was full on trying to take a bite out of it and then pulling backwards scraping the inside of her mouth and then doing it again, she did it maybe 2 or 3 times before i noticed, is there a reason why she is doing this? shes had the paver in there since Friday and has taken no notice of it.

It might have a bit of food smell on it, if she's been fed there? I've noticed Titus trying to take a bite out of his towel once or twice, once because there was a bit of gravy smudged on it, another time because there was some shed plastered on it and I suppose he thought it appetising lol.

No theres never been food put in that paver, it was soaked in bleach and then soaked in boiling water so theres no way there could be any sort of trace of a food or smell, i took her out for 5-10 minutes after she was trying to eat the paver, in which she walked up to my face and licked my lips a few times i thought nothing of it until she tried to take a nip out of my lips, guess they still smelt and tasted like the chicken rice i had for dinner.

They are also a bit like babies, just trying things out with their mouths sometimes.
