Instructions
Reward your rabbit when she behaves well and does not chew undesirable objects in the house. Treat the rabbit by giving her what she likes, whether it's grooming her with a soft brush, giving her an ear rub or providing a healthy treat, such as a carrot.
Provide your rabbit with toys and other items that are safe to chew, such as cardboard boxes, sticks and tree branches, magazines, newspapers, toilet paper rolls and pine cones. Keep these items available to provide your rabbit with mental stimulation and to help keep his teeth worn down. Fill a box with soil and sticks and provide this for your rabbit to allow him to indulge in digging.
Cover exposed wires and cords in a hard plastic casing. Purchase a bitter apple spray from your pet store and spritz it on any furniture your rabbit likes to nibble, such as chair legs or the bottom of the sofa. The scent and taste will deter your rabbit.
How to Stop a Rabbit From Nibbling
Nibbling and chewing are natural behaviors for your rabbit. This is because the rabbit's teeth are constantly growing and need to be worn down to prevent them from becoming uncomfortably long. Rabbits in the wild use their teeth to chew through roots when digging underground. Because of this your rabbit may chew the furniture in your house. It could also chew electrical cords, which is extremely dangerous. Here are some methods to prevent your rabbit from chewing forbidden objects.
