When i first got Coco, stripping off n destroying the perches was his only entertainment.
Whenever he was kept in the cage n got bored, he wud attack the perch. Not quite sure what type of wood it was, but surely soft enuf for him to bite n strip off.
i wud replace the perches occasionally but then it became a lil too troublesome n the perches were not readily available n i had to ask a carpenter to fabricate them for me everytime.
I finally replaced those perches with teak wood from India. now teak wood isnt soo pricy for nothing. ;-)it sure is very strong n Coco cant destroy them anymore.
But hey, i havnt deprived him of his biting n chewing urges.
I get him those doggy raw hide sticks. those are small enuf for him chew n bite on n also he seems to enjoy them more than the perches !!!
Anyone else tried those raw hide sticks? i've read somewhere that they are safe???
