        callie lives in a 4×4 xpen. my bedroom rug is underneath the pen. she pulls at that, so i cover it with a sheet. this solution worked for my former bunny cosie for nearly ten years. it’s doable with callie, but not the best solution. 

        she pulls at the sheet and digs into it. there are holes everywhere. i find the remnants so i know she’s not eating them, but still i don’t like this. i tried the kids’ puzzle mats. she chewed those too. i tried thicker blankets…chewed as well. right now i’m back to the sheet. 

        i don’t want to use linoleum or tile because i don’t want her slipping. anything i put in there to make it softer she’ll dig or chew at. 

        also, she occasionally has accidents. sheets are easy to swap out, and the puzzle mats cleaned up well. i need an easy clean solution. 

        my latest idea is this: lay tarp on top of my rug and on top of that place 4 sq ft of that nearly flat office type carpet. i figure i can punch holes in the carpet and zip tie it to her xpen. however, i’m concerned about the longevity of this solution because of her accidents. also, knowing callie, she’d find some way to destroy it!

        any other ideas? i’ve been hunting around online but no one’s rabbits seem quite as destructive as callie!

          This might not work at all, and I’m sure others have better ideas, but I will throw this one out there since it sounds like you are at your wits end anyway.

          I know you said no linoleum or tile, but how about linoleum and tile? Not all tile is super slick, you can get slate tiles, which have natural ridges and such. People use them in leopard gecko enclosures because they are a nice natural and safe rock surface that is both easy to clean, but also not slippery. Otherwise they are used outside in gardens or whatever (again, someplace you wouldn’t want anything that would get super slick when wet especially). Now, the tiles alone aren’t going to protect any carpet or fabric underneath if she has an accident, which is where the linoleum comes in. Simply put it under the tiles. If you don’t want it to wrap up the edges, you could even get one of those office chair mats, you just need something that is water proof really.

          Best of luck!

            This seems to be a double post! Sorry!
