I agree that a screen can be helpful. I used a plastic knitting mesh/canvas (7-count hole size). One of my rabbits sometimes digs in the litterbox, and since the screen is cut to size, it doesn’t budge and can withstand the digging. An important part is the holes are smaller than her nails, so she can’t actually dig up the screen if she tried.

Thank you all for your advice. I’ve never had a pet I had the chance to bond with, so I’ve been dreading her loss pretty much since I’ve had her… I’ll be looking for ways to support her better as she ages. Thank you.

It was quite cheap, actually, and I’ve noticed that the little one walks and runs around plenty (still not as much as before, but she’s clearly more comfortable) now. Thank you for your advice!

The screen should help a lot! They have always helped my diggers. Also a deeper box that makes it harder to kick everything out of.

You could also make her a digging box to give her a better way to exercise that instinct. Digging is very fun for some rabbits. 🙂

And just because…..here is another picture of Starlight. Ms. Rabbitude.

Lots of ((((((trio))))))) vibes!

I couldnt agree with Hazel more. Adult rabbits do not like being picked up. Some can learn to accept it, but that doesn’t mean they like it. For a rabbit, being picked up is the first step towards becoming someone’s dinner.

I’m sorry the vet tech made you feel horrible about that. Rabbits are an important source of food for many predators of…[Read more]

Do you have any suggestions on the best course of action?
