Hello

 I’m having never ending trouble with my rabbits atm. All 3 were neutered almost exactly a month ago, and before then their litter habits weren’t perfect, but not bad (they always peed in the box but there was the odd poop on the floor), excluding when they got up on my bed where they just peed and pooped EVERYWHERE. Now after having them neutered almost a month ago their habits have gone all over the place, they still mostly pee in the boxes but now poo allll over the floor. On top of this their behaviour has changed – they aren’t aggressive but they definitely nip more.

The main problem I’m having now is that they wake up every morning at 3-4am and start going mental on the cages of their pen. Rufus especially will dig and dig and dig and bite the wires until we either feed up to shut him up (although he goes straight back once he’s finished) or he’s been let out. Ideally I would love to let them out because they like to flop all over my bed, but I just can’t when they’re going to the loo all over it. I’ve already been through 4 pillows, 2 duvets, 1 blanket and 2 mattress toppers. My boyfriend and I are at our wits end when it comes to being woken up, there is literally no way of shutting them up properly and the noise is so loud that my mum often hears and complains too.

So yeah – I need HELP! here are some pictures of their pen – sorry it’s so disgusting – i’ve been out at work all day

 As you can see I have floorboards so when they pull at the cage it rattles insanely loudly. We’ve tried putting towels etc underneath so there’s no contact with the floor but the cage itself still makes a racket. We’ve also tried attaching some cardboard against the wires but because the whole thing still shakes the cage still rattles.

So does anyone have any ideas as for ways of soundproofing this? I’m no where near imaginative enough to think of anything else.

Also have any of you had this problem? Do you know any ways to stop it? Both the pulling at the cage and the peeing on my bed. I thought neutering would improve their habits but they’re just worse now, and I’m getting desperate

Thanks in advance
