Wise Old Thumper
Anyone offer any advise for me to pass on..
Hope someone can help me with a problem I'm having with my female rabbit. We areon our third hutch, but she just manages to chew great big holes in them and get out!
The first one she dug her way out the bottom, so we thought maybe her and her brother needed a bigger cage, so we bought a 6ft hutch and run combo (not cheap) and she dug her way out the back of the hutch (the run part was on concrete so no chance of digging out of that! so then we boarded up the hole with some spare wood but she just chewed through the other side istead! (by the way she does this over night in the space of 7 hours) So we bought another hutch, just the hutch, and they go in the hutch at night and the run in the day, and still she has chewed through the floor of this one too.
They have the run of the garden for a few hours every evening/afternoon, so they get plenty of exersize, I provide them with wood chews, veg on one of those stick things to make it difficult so as to prevent boredom, they get a good quality dry food twice a day. I don't know what else to do. She has also started to 'attack' me, she puts up her front paws and sort of bats at me then pounces and sinks her teeth into my hand she used to be so friendly. We dont have any probs with her brother. Would spaying help? I dont want to have to re home her, but I have children to think of to, and we cant afford to replace the hutch every few months.
