My mum told me it was to help keep their teeth clean, but I've no idea if that's true or not!

Thank you Kathy, its been bugging me for ages. Googled all sorts and not found anything that explained it. That will put my mind at rest for the time being, until some other random thing bugs me lol

Never wondered that before. I did always wonder how they weren't constantly biting themselves by accident because they seem a bit loose
