Cloth Eater

Our 3 year girl is a cloth eater. I keep everything away from her, i.e. socks, etc. However, she still continues to eat pieces of her bed sheet. It's not constant usually about once a month........I have no idea what motivates her to do it. But it's a big concern as the last time she did it she ate about an 1/8 of a twin cotton bed sheet. Kenneling doesn't help as she does it in the evening when everyone is at home. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

Re: Cloth Eater

I do have an idea, because I have been there I used to use cotton sheeting as well, but switched to fake fur and my girl stopped chewing. You can buy it by the yard (meter) at a fabric store..the same stuff people make teddy bears out of, it comes in all different prints or just plain colors. You can throw it in the washer and dryer without any problems It worked in our case, it just might in yours

I made a pillow case type thing from it and just slipped the crate pad inside.
