Welcome! Nugget is so cute.

Hello.

Might I suggest getting Nugget some willow or grass mats? She might just be a little bit bored and needs something to dig at and throw about. My bun developed a carpet pulling habit but once I got her those mats, she can’t get enough of them.

Nuggest is so cute! My bunny Sammy does the carpet pulling thing too. What i found works is placing straw mats like MarkBun was saying in one or two areas that are their ‘favorite’, and then keep them away from the other areas by spraying perfume. Sammy hates the perfume. It also keeps him from under the couch, where he likes to pull out my couch lining… wonderful. lol

yeah I would just spray the perfume under the couch.. a couple spritzes should be enough. Because I’d like to avoid using perfume around Sammy ideally and also because within a couple days I always have to respray the perfume, I’m thinking of trying some sort of rabbit-approved bad tasting spray to spray on carpets and the parts of the couch he chews.. Haven’t gotten to that yet though lol

Welcome! She’s so beautiful!

I see the lop, where’s the harlequin? LOL! Or did the rescue know her parents?

My little one *points below* is under a year too, and boy does she LOVE the carpet!! I got a few rugs to place under the furniture she could get under, which stops her from rooting around and digging up the carpet in there, you just need to be careful to get a rug she can’t dig up too. For some reason my little diva only likes to dig when she feels enclosed or traps herself between two things, like behind the couch. So I pulled out the couch, and the digging back there stopped. I also put a cardboard box out over her favorite dig spot, so she can do and chew and dig on that, and I blocked the hidey spots with big boxes of stuff, so she can’t wiggle in somewhere. Otherwise I get catch her at it, and she’s starting to understand ‘no’, so I just firmly tell her no, and move her a few feet away from where she was digging. If she’s -really- in dig mode, I put her back in her habitat, to show her that digging means no free time. Make sure you do provide a dig or rip up toy, it’s important for them to have that. I also noticed that since I’ve supplied her with a toilet paper cardboard tube 24/7 to chew and eat and dig on, I have yet to have an instance of her carpet pulling!

Update: Just as I posted little miss decided to go start pulling up some carpet. x.x I guess she wanted to make a liar out of me! I told her it wasn’t okay and moved her to a different spot, and off she scampered ^_^

The reason that rabbits dig under furniture is that it is their instinct to try and increase the size of their warren so that they aren’t having to stoop too much. Now my girl liked to go under my bed, tear away the box spring lining and then hop into it and then continuously stomp. My best guess is that she was playing hide and seek and thought I couldn’t get to her. She was somewhat annoyed when I simply cut the lining off of the boxspring.

OH MY GOSH what a wonderful name!!! ….and a cute rabbit to boot!
Welcome!

Whatever she is, she is very pretty!

i got some fooey  or phooey       hope i spelled it right.           petsupermarket carries it in the cat section

that stuff is so potent the wires i sprayed it on 3 years ago  still taste horrid.

a cable man came n got all upset thinking i had put stuff on the wires to poison him   good thing i remembered the foey i sprayed on there years ago              me   being muslim he probably thought i stuck anthrax on it  rofl

cotton has not actively chewed on those particular wires since.         he had got the new speaker wire that waSnt sprayed.     i ran out of the stuff n wont get anymore since i can taste it when i handle the wires and no i dont even stick my fingers n my mouth.     you cant wash it off either.          beleive me i tried

also NIC cubes work well to barricade the couch.          other members can tell you the other names for those things
