Will providing enough chewing toys to my pet rabbit stop it from chewing other important stuff?
I keep my rabbit in her cage most of the time. But I allow her to roam about in the house for about an hour each day. It is then that she chews electrical cords, books, cloths etc. If I keep chewing toys in her cage will she stop chewing other stuff when I allow her to come out?
Your rabbit should have a t least 5 hours out each day. What a horrible life being stuck in a cage!!
If you have no garden you still have to do this in the evening if you are out all day. Don’t keep your rabbit confined to her cage just because you cannot be bothered to pick stuff up off t he floor and watch her. You should be bonding with her. I am not having a go at you, this is the only way i can express my feelings for the rabbit and if she can get to items you cannot be being careful enough.
It is natural that rabbits chew to file down their teeth as their teeth are constantly growing throughout their lives.
You can deter her a bit with a product called bitter apple, but you will never stop her chewing totally.If she is chewing the bars of her cage, i cannot blame her. This can also cause teeth growth problems
My rabbits when in the house were out all the time when i was at home. You should get some plastic covers for cables from your diy store and remove destroyable items off the e floor.
Pay more attention to her and if she chews anything, remove her from the area but do not speak to her as she is seeking your attention.
Give her apple wood to chew on or rabbit chews from your local store in her cage.Make sure she is fed on a pelleted diet like Burgess Excel with veg & fruit in moderation and plenty of Hay.
