  When Cocoa is bored, she destroys stuff. What can I do to distract her? I dont have access to cardboard at the moment.

  The simple solution is to keep her occupied and stop her from being bored. She needs plenty of toys and enrichment to keep her mentally stimulated.
  
  What does she have in regards to enrichment at the moment?

  She has a salt block thing, a cat ball with a bell in it, multiple wooden sticks, a hanging wooden toy, a wooden house, then they have their two story hutch, and a few hanging cardboard toys. that’s what I meant

  I would say general containers and throw hay in them, pellets in them, whatever you may have! Even just flipping over boxes, putting a bunch of random stuff on the floor.. anything that may make her want to investigate. Hide singular pellets in objects to have her scope it out. I know you said she’s a chewer, so just be wary of nothing toxic.

  It sounds like she has quite a bit but maybe you need to switch things up a bit. Bunnies can get used to things so it can be good to rotate.
  
  Also, a salt block isn’t really suitable for rabbits. They should have enough salt from their pellets.
