        My 4 month old holland lop, Bear, he chews up EVERYTHING. Fleece blankets. The wire on his cage. His litter box(plastic), anything that seems to be CHEWable. Thankfully, he isnt eating it. He just likes to chew. :3 I was hoping to find a nice bed type of thing (preferably enclosed so he can have the option of hiding for a while to nap:3) to put in the corner of his new cage and possibly some toys that might actually last a week. Lol. He also lives to dig. Not loves, LIVES. Lol. He will fling his litter all around his cage unless I put as small amount possible. Any suggestions on a bed and possibly some toys? I think for now I have the litterbox thing figured out but really would like to find him some toys and other things to keep him entertained, and I know some colorful sticks from the petstore won’t do that. Booring.

          It’s not too pretty but I would suggest a cardboard box for a hidey house. If it gets chewed up you get him a new one! I think a bed would get chewed and destroyed in short order I know many people on the forum make ‘diggy boxes’ for their rabbits. Just shredded paper in a box. Phone books are also good for bunnies who like to chew and dig!

                How big of a cage do you have? I know my bunny chews on the bars if I close him up in what he deems as too small of an area

                  One of my bunnies live in the living-room, the other one in the rest of the apt. There’s a netted gate separating them. But the bunny living in the rest of the apt is forever chewing on the gate to get into the living-room if I’m in there. So space is not always an issue (rest of the apt is much bigger than the living-room.) I think a bunny wants to be where all the fun stuff is going on, i e with their humans.

                  I have a stack of old newspapers in a corner under a table for that bunny to tear apart. He does a lot of that. It’s easy for me to clean and it offers the bunny both digging- and chewing-opportunities.

                    My rabbits chew their bars after they have been put to bed and ALL through the night. If they are not sleeping, they want out. They are out if I am home (usually) so they are not stuck in their cage unless I’m at work or sleeping. I haven’t found anything to deter it, so I just try to not wake them up at night.

                      That’s. Good idea, getting a box and putting a bunch of newspaper in it. Do you think it might be a good idea to shred some of it with a paper shredder just so he has more to dig through? And you are probably right. His cage is a rather small pet store cage and he doesn’t get out as much as I would like him to be lately because he got neutered and once I am to get my other spayed then I will try bonding them and he will have all the more space. But whenever I try to let him out to play he will only go near flowers cage and seriously, he is DETERMINED to get in there. :/

                        I got something like this for my boy (only it tapers closed at one end) and he love it. Ripped it apart in a month, of course, but he did use it as a bed, even when it was falling apart. It was fairly cheap (about £5) too, so I’m not mega fussed that he destroys it.  

                        I eat a lot of smarties, and the cardboard tubes are really handy to stuff with his ‘treat’ hay or some straw with a few veggies. They keep him occupied for a while. 

                        Stuff hanging from the cage roof is also pretty good – look in your pet shop for these. Even if it’s completely edible, it’s more of a challenge if it’s hanging up, they really have to work for it!
