    Default Is it bad to NEVER feed nuts?

    So I know that it's bad to feed nuts too often. But is feeding nuts too infrequently also an issue? I just hate the way she gets so crazy and defensive and has almost a complete personality change when I give her a nut, and wondering if there's any way to avoid it.

    I want to make sure she still has a way to grind down her teeth. She chews on everything, has branches and a pumice stone, but doesn't seem too interested in them.

    Try an antler, or for my wild squirrels I buy marrow bones at the grocery store. They’re about 3-4” long. I let my dog eat the marrow out and then they dry out pretty quickly sitting in the sun. I place them on branches in trees throughout the yard and I always hear the wild squirrels chewing on them. They get calcium and it wears their teeth down….it’s a win/win.

    Thanks Mel, but I've tried offering an antler and she doesn't seem interested at all. I'll try a marrow bone.
