How can I prevent my bunny from chewing on the hutch?

1. Provide plenty of chew toys: Provide your bunny with a variety of safe chew toys to satisfy their natural chewing behavior. Toys made of hay, wood, or straw are ideal for bunnies.

2. Bitter apple spray: Consider using a bitter apple spray on the areas of the hutch that your bunny likes to chew on. The bitter taste will deter them from wanting to chew on it.

3. Increase exercise and mental stimulation: Bunnies may chew out of boredom or frustration, so it’s important to make sure they have plenty of space to exercise and mentally stimulating activities to keep them occupied.

4. Supervise and redirect: Monitor your bunny when they are out of the hutch and redirect their attention to a chew toy if you see them trying to chew on the hutch.

5. Cover exposed edges: Cover any exposed edges of the hutch with rabbit-safe materials like wire mesh or PVC pipe to prevent your bunny from gnawing on them.

6. Regularly check and replace chewed areas: Inspect the hutch regularly for any signs of chewing damage and promptly repair or replace any chewed areas to prevent further damage.
