Hi
I have a nursing Californian doe. This is my 1st Calif litter. I've always used shredded paper as a part of rabbit bedding but since the birth she's started chewing/eating paper shreds. It's not too compulsive - perhaps she gets through the equivalent of an A6 sheet per day. She seems happy enough on it. She gets plenty of other normal food. Perhaps it's just a nursing/post-natal thing. Has anyone any experience of this to suggest if this is harmless or not? Given the stuff rabbits are capable of digesting (hay, dandelions, bindweed, bramble leaves etc) it's hard to believe a little paper could hurt but I'd like to hear if anyone has any experience of this.

we have gave her plastic toys which she does play with. wooden blocks and gnawing vegatables but to no avail does she stop. we will either have to pull her teeth out or have to get a stainless steel hutch :lol:
