MW, I know how you feel about the noisy chewing to be heard.
Just yesterday Sammy was chewing on the bars of her new x-pen. It was quiet!!!! Her old cage was soooooo much louder when she chewed. I found myself going “ahhhh. Peace at last.” And she got in her chewing time, so we were both content. (Well, that is unless she wanted out and wasn’t content.)

I tell bunny stories to people at work sometimes and they are truly amazed. If I’m brief. *rolls eyes*

Yup right there with ya Moonlight W. Mr. Blu LOVES to dig at my wood floor (thankfully he does no damage). He just started this habit and he does it at random in the corner where he gets his salads but my guess is he does it to get our attention sometimes (or food?). And it works bc it drives me mad!! haha My husband and I try to laugh but also feel bad bc he probably thinks all that work is accomplishing something! At times it seems like he’s trying to get to the small strands of hay outside his pen (he digs right at the edge of the pen AND pulls on the pen with his teeth like he’s trying to get out). But if he would just turn around and go the other direction, he has free range of another room to play in! Silly bun..he just wants to be everywhere… Then he completely exhausts himself and has to nap for a while..

Oreo makes noise to, but not so much digging…She pulls on her pen when she wants to come out and loops her sheet (that lines her pen) through the bars in the pen grids. I sometimes can’t unwind it she gets it in there so tight!

Oh and another noise…how loud are your buns when they’re drinking water from their bowls!!?? When all is quiet in the house and you hear gurgle gurgle gurgle…haha

But I just think it is so funny that bunny’s do not make vocal noise, but they definately find their own way to make noise!

They sure do! Bindi LOVES to make noise (and a huge mess too!). When he had a smaller cage with a plastic bottom he would dig at one corner and it would drive us nuts! He would dig, dig, dig and then make a scraping noise with his teeth on the plastic! Now that he has a bigger cage, he uses his cardboard box to dig which isn’t so loud but he also found a way to make noise with his condo. He rattles the door really violently if he wants something or dinner is late. I always feel bad if we have a houseguest sleeping on the couch about 10 feet from his cage. Waky Waky, lol… Rabbits are such brats!!!

that’s where you put houseguests? 10′ from your rabbit cage? That’s just mean!!!!

Lol I should set up one of those nighttime recorders so you could see the circus in my room at night. Somebunny enjoys chewing on my box spring right after I fall asleep everynight. I kick my feet on my mattress in hops to stop them…most of the time that doesn’t work and I have to poke whoever it us under my bed doing it. Now the newest and latest loud thing to do in the morning, or at night, when you want pellets, or when you want out…is Bagheera clawing at the wire. That’s a huge 6’x4′ chunk of wire that resonates in my room lol….ughhhhhhh. Bee and Indy hop over to him like…”what the heck you doin dude???? You can’t come out here this is our area!!” The only time Bun gets noisy is when she flings her box around her pen. It’s a good thing I’m a heavy sleeper for the most part!

oh yeah!  me too!  my first bun had a wooden carrot toy that always appeared out on top of his enclosure every morning.  i asked my roommate at the time if he knew about it.  apparently every morning he would have to take the toy away because binky would drag the wooden carrot back & forth & back & forth  back & forth along the enclosure wires like a convict with a metal cup.  being as my roommate was not a rabbit person he did not find this to be enjoyable.  haha. 

Moose has taken to chewing the bars of his pen by his litterbox every morning around 5 am. And he has also taken to digging at one corner of his pen, I guess he thinks he needs more out time

LOL, bunnies are so silly. Oliver doesn’t dig or chew much in his cage, but this afternoon when I was cleaning the hedgehog cages, Oliver hopped in one where I had just put fresh shavings and proceeded to dig to his heart’s content. It was adorable to watch, but not-so-fun to clean up.

Mine chew on cardboard. How in the heck they can make such a loud noise chewing on cardboard is beyond me but they manage to do it. LOL

When I had Eddie by himself, I had to be up with him in the mornings. He was free range and most of the time, I slept on my couch. Well he’d start out by jumping up on me anywhere between 6am and 7am. Then if that didn’t work, he started running around making racket – running thru the vertical blinds to the sliding door, chewing on boxes, jumping back on me, jumping on other things. Just anything to get me up. And of course the whole time I am sleepily yelling at him to knock it off. Finally I’d get up by 8am complete with yelling “FINE! I’M UP!” He’d sit and look at my innocently. Then hop off to go take a nap. grrrrrr lol

Petzy- Lol!!! We have a small house, the rabbit room is right off the living room, if you wanna sleep over and save hotel $$, you’re gonna deal with noisy bunnies…and cat fur and hay in your bag when you leave, and cats sleeping on you…

My bunny loves to dig/scratch the wall haha I think it’s very unique
