  I’ve had my bunny for about 4 weeks now, I got him when he was 8 weeks old so he is now 3 months. A few days into having him home he started chewing on my clothes whether I was wearing them or not. He’d chew my socks while they were on my feet, eat my jeans if he had access to them. He still does, even the sandals on my feet! He also would tear a lot of the carpet out until I covered the spots he liked to chew. I supply him with plenty of chew toys to keep him entertained but he still eats my clothes. Another thing is that he has a fleece blanket to cover the carpet in his x-pen and he doesn’t chew on it at all.
  Recently, he has learned that he’s able to jump up on my bed. That was this morning actually. He pooped more than usual and I would find them all over. Later, I got new bedding and he jumped up after much difficulty. He pooped about 15 pellets or whatever you’d like to call them in just 30 seconds. As I was taking them off he peed on my freshly cleaned bedding!!
  What is causing this behavior? I love him so much but he is being such a pest. Anyone know how to fix it?
  Also, he never, ever wants to be pet unless he’s eating. Do I need to bond with him more? He’s very comfortable around me and climbs all over me so I don’t understand what’s going on.
  Someone please help!
  (He’s a mini Rex mixed with netherland dwarf)

  Beds are popular places for peeing or pooping for rabbits around this age. It sounds like he is in bunny puberty! I think reading some of this information will answer some questions.
