Try getting something like a sour taste spray which can be found at pet stores.

Stickers does that… I have a baby gate blockade for the corners of the room since the rabbits INSIST if they can reach a corner by a wall, it has to be a litter box. And Stickers spends hours every day just chewing at the baby gate trying to move it. So far it’s been months and she still does it… persistent little buns. Nothing has worked for her so can’t help with how to stop it. lol

When they know they aren’t supposed to do something, it makes them really REALLY wanna do it!

Our bunny wasn’t allowed in the bedroom because it wasn’t bunny proof. Whenever we accidentally left the door a crack open, he would be in there in the blink of an eye. Then, as soon as one of us started to walk over there to get him out, he would come running out on his own, binkying the whole way! He knew he was being bad and he loved it!

Juli’s suggestion is good, it worked for us. Some rabbits actually like the taste though, I guess you’ll just have to try.

Haha exactly! Try putting something in front she can play with-like a phonebook or a toy; She’ll likely focus on that instead. Or time…she’ll give up if she doesn’t get around your defenses.

I’ve been spraying a water/vinegar mix on my baseboards and my heat vent thing. They love chewing them. After I spray them, they don’t touch them for a while, but a few hours later they’re back at it again. Stitch responds really well to noise. I just have to sound stern and he’ll stop.

Just a few minutes ago I was putting laundry away in my room and left my door open just a little bit. They’ve never been in there, so they kept poking their little heads in. They would see me and pull their head back. It was the cutest thing because they kept doing it.

That reminds me of Bosse! Whenever he tries to chew the carpet and I tell him no, he doesn’t respond, but when I get up and move over to him, he binkies his way away from me! haha they’re funny like that!
