Has anyone used this for their buns before? http://www.doggyfriend.com.sg/Fooey-Ultra-Bitter-Gel_p_4653.html
Smudge has a pen that I put around his closet at night, and as some of you might remember, he likes to dig at and chew the bars. I put a piece of fabric along the bottom to cover up the bars, and it worked for a while.
But lately his bar-chewing has gotten worse. He used to only chew/dig at his pen on the weekend when I slept in and let him out later than usual... So that was understandable. Now he is doing it randomly throughout the night, and he refuses to stop unless I either let him out, or give him his Slim Cat ball to distract him. But once his gets all the food out of it, he just starts again.
I've tried saying "NO" really loudly and turning him away from the bars when he does this, but he doesn't seem to care. When I block off one section of is gate, he just moves over to the other section. He has tons of toys to play with and plenty of space in his pen too.
I don't really like the idea of using the bitter gel stuff on his cage bars, because I know he is just doing it because he is bored and wants attention... But I don't know what else to do, and he is driving me insane!
