I didn't know tissues were edible

Every morning, Danny gets one hard boiled egg for breakfast. That's a lot for the little dude especially since he weighs 9.2kg.

However, he doesn't agree.

Just after breakfast yesterday, he grabbed a box of tissues off the table. It didn't stand a chance. Danny chomped down half the contents before we discovered him.

I had no idea they could be eaten but as per Experiment Danny, they didn't do him any harm. Actually, they seem to make for pretty good roughage. (Tissues come from trees and trees = fibre, right?)

Well, whatever went in popped out in a few hours. They must have cleaned him really thoroughly too cos when dinner time came, he yelped for his food and polished it off faster than ever.

DISCLAIMER: Not recommended as alternative treatment for bowel movement.

Alot of chemicals goes into the processing for making tissues. Clorine to make it white and something else to make it light and fluffy and some glue substance.

Not something you want Danny to make a habit of.

My big boy also ate cotton when he was very young. But after a few times of flicking his mouth using fingers, he stopped destroying cushions. He always end up looking like a santa with beard due to the cotton.
