Bunny eating wood!

I bought a toy for Sharik ages ago which essentially two wooden cubes (untreated wood) with a thick piece of rope between them - she essentially ignored it, but when I gave it to King (still a little boy), he started chomping away on the wood.

While it is good for his teeth, surely it can't be that great if he's actually eating the wood chips as well?

I removed the toy immediately when I saw what he was up to, but is it OK for him to eat the wood or not?
 
Thumper has a toy like your discribing, and he ignores it :(. as untreated and for pets, i wouldnt personally be to concerned if he eats it. x

He has those too - he just seemed to take an extreme interest in making these cubes go away :love:

I tried him with it again earlier, and just goes bananas with it, so put it back in with Sharik who is less than impressed :roll:
 
how strange...must be the right consistency or he likes the taste...may be not give it to him if he is going overboard with it...;)
