What animal ate stones because it didn't chew well?

The animal that is known to eat stones because it doesn't chew well is the ostrich. These large birds consume small stones, called gastroliths, to help grind and break down their food in their gizzards, as they lack the ability to chew effectively. This behavior aids in digestion, allowing them to process tough plant material more efficiently.


How do you keep your guinea pigs from chewing their ramp?

Guinea pigs are made to chew on things. They need wood and stuff in there cage 24/7 so they can chew it and keep their teeth down. If you have a wooden ramp then that is why it is chewing it. They need to chew on wood all the time, and wooden toys need to always be in there cage. Your guinea pig is chewing on the wooden ramp because that is what it is supposed to do. If you do not want it to chew on the ramp, then go get a plastic ramp because they will not chew on that. I have two guinea pigs, so if you need any other questions please feel free to ask. actually my pigs have a plastic ramp and i had to take it away because it was half gone.
