I know this is probably a stupid question but is there any way I can get my rabbit, Edward, to stop eating things that he shouldn't?
He eats everything, and I mean everything! Cardboard tubes and boxes, the neoprene bottle cover, the corners of the hutch and the straw I use for bedding. He ate the ground sheet when I kept him indoors while Rosie was poorly. He also ate the newspaper I put down. He didn't just shred it, I watched him eat it. I even caught him with a rubber band the last time him and Rosie had a run about on the lawn. I'm not sure where he found it but he was having a good chew and he wasn't too happy when I took it off him!
He has a varied diet of hay, Excel pellets and fresh vegetables, he has plenty of toys, tunnels, places to hide, and he gets loads of attention from his wifebun Rosie, me and the kids but he always seems to eat things he shouldn't.
Is this just a rabbit quirk I'll have to learn to live with? Or can I focus his urge to nibble on something else?
