[NAGDU] Bones

If it is cracked, exposes the hollow inside, has larger broken off pieces,
the nubs are worn flat, has sharp pointy ends, or is small enough to put
down his throat, get rid of it and start with a new one.

David, when do you throw out a large Nylabone?  Krokus has the Nyla-knot,
which seem good, but he gnaws one side down flat after a while.  Then I
suppose they could be nibbled.
It's hard to know which bones are best for his teeth, since it's not so
obvious to me when something is wearing on his teeth.

Tracy, I find that the shank bones are not a good choice for Claire Rose.
She shatters them into sharp shards.  Elk horns seem to last quite a while
without breaking and the very large Nylabones do quite well and can't be
nibbled.  Since she is such strong chewer, our chewing toy choices are
limited.
