Hello, the danger is if Dunchi is also eating or ingesting the blanket this could become entrapped in his intestines or stomach. If this did happen, he would need surgery to have it removed. For this reason, it is best to prevent him from this behavior because it could indeed be very dangerous or bad. Hope this helps and best of luck.
