Subject: fabric chewing

OK, I caught my five year old "Slim", chewing the hem of my dress
hanging in the closet!! When we got this guy 3 yrs. ago he had been
locked in a very tiny room when let out of his cage at all. He had a
habit of wanting to chew socks, as well as trying to eat the insoles
of shoes. We keep all shoes and socks up and out of his reach, but
like I said, today I catch him chewing the hem of a dress. He cannot
be lacking for food, believe me. He weighs four lbs. All toys that
are given to him that are ok to chew on, he either isn't interested
in , or his brother Cujo, stashes. Any ideas of something we could
provide him that would take the place of the bad things? he also
receives regular doses of laxatone and has been examined for any
kind of foreign objects in his tummy, to which he had none. Other
than this habit, he is very playful, energetic, etc.
