Amy - you only need to end it for a few minutes then let him go back to it.
That's enough to give him the idea that "chewing" means his nursing gets
interrupted, which he won't like.

I think they're often more like "projects" than like pets. Which isn't any
better, imo.

But, some of us chose to have them to add to the joy of a life lived with a

success.
