         I thought I had bunny-proofed the apartment sufficiently, but Merida (dwarf rabbit, ~1 year 4 months, ~2.5 lbs) decided that she wanted to nibble on a rubber door-stop instead of the boxes and boxes of hay I have laying out for her. I’m keeping an eye on her to make sure she keeps eating, drinking, and doing her bathroom business. (Unfortunately she’s had GI statis before, so I know the symptoms.)

        Has anyone else had a rabbit chew up a rubber door-stop? What happened? Is there anything I can do to make the ingested door-stop less dangerous/painful for her on its way through?

          How much did she eat? And how is she doing today?

          Those rubber items are just so tempting to bunnies. Is there any way you can block her access to that area?

            Not door stops, but Porky chewed up a silicon rubber baking dish. I am unsure how much he actually ingested. He was totally fine.

              I don’t think she ate too much of it- *maybe* a pea-size worth of little bits? Most of the wreckage was strewn about the rug.
              She seems to be doing fine- was out for a run this morning & currently in her hutch eating hay. We can’t easily block her from the area, but we were able to unscrew the doorstop from the wall altogether. I might do the same for other doorstops in the apartment in case she’s developed a taste for them.
