His first time in the park and he was eating grass - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My baby had his reall first outing today, I took him to the park and he would smell the ground and start nibbling on the grass. At first i stopped him but he continued to do it i dont think he has an upset stomach i know some people say they eat when their stomach is upset.

But we would walk and he would burry his nose through the grass and smell it then he would find some long grass and start playing with it and then he would eat it.

I hope this is ok i mean he is fine, he's not throwing up or looking weird or anything.

I would like to know what other things besides carrots can i feed my baby he will be 4 months tomorrow yay.

I sure hope its okay, because Bailey does it just about every time she's on grass. She chews the grass. She burrows into the grass with her nose. She digs. And she tries to chew up anything she digs up. I usually get her stopped pretty quick, but she keeps coming back to the same behavior. I think part of it is just terrier behavior.

I'm glad to hear that! I've been worried when I've taken Kona outside.

Oh my gosh, Topher spends most of his time eating grass..lol. When we're just hanging about in the yard or doing yard work and he's there with us, that's what he does...I think it's because they can.
