Does not really matter what it's called...you got good advice from the members... this is caused by needing more attention, boredom and being under exercised.

Get him out walking, running and playing...and you will also have less problems with seperation anxiety also.

By giving her the name she is able to look it up and find causes and solutions etc I was not simply telling her what it was called for the fun of it. If you dont know what the problem is then its it more difficult to treat the problem. And this type of behaviour can be indicitive of other problems such as dietry insufficiencies..not just understimulation. If you look up Pica then you will see what it is and learn that it is not just caused by needing more attention, boredom and not enough excersise.

I was only giving what I thought was helpful advice and She was happy with my reply so there really was no need for your comment.
