WONDERBUNNY jumps up to 3ft? Should I invest in a cat tree?

[princessbookworm]

Hello, everyone!

So my 9month old mini lop, Jake, is usually very well-behaved. He is free-range in my apartment and always uses his litter box, rarely makes a mess of his hay, and generally keeps himself and my apartment clean.

But recently, he’s decided to jump onto tables?  He especially likes trying to lunge for the table with all his treats. He even chewed some of the plastic of one of the treat bags (which freaked mama out…but he’s totally fine! It’s been a week and he hasn’t had any changes in eating, drinking, or pooping). 

Now I move my desk chair far away before I leave, but he was somehow able to still get on the table?  Now, I’ve put all the treats in a sealed bin so he cannot get to the plastic, but I’m concerned he is acting this way because he needs more to jump on?

He has an american girl doll bunk bed where he eats hay and chills out. Sometimes he goes on the top bunk, but mostly he stays on the bottom bunk. And like I said, he will jump onto my bed. But does anyone think he needs something more to hop on?

I’m thinking about investing in a cat tree but I’m not sure what kind bunnies tend to like? I think he’s too big for something like the cottontail cottage (he’s around 6.5lbs but he gotta booty ). 

Does anyone have experience with this behavior or cat trees for bunnies?

Here are a few I’m looking at: https://www.chewy.com/trixie-altea-46-inch-cat-tree/dp/134667

my buns love kitten trees, also racing up and down stairs

Does he have tunnels and dig boxes, this will use his mind and hopefully wear him out a bit more… lol.
Cat trees are made for big cats too so he should be ok…..

My girl also jumps up on tables and desks. We have moved everything into sealed containers and we put her down every time she jumps up. It’s taking time but she is doing it less and less.

I never thought of trying a cat tree for her, but she is up and down off the couches, chairs and window sills.

Thank you guys for the awesome replies!

I was sorta paranoid that there was something very, very bad about cat trees for buns that everyone knew but me, haha!

Vienna Blue, he does have tunnels but I have yet to find a successful dig box method I tried newspaper and cardboard but he would only dig if there was a little something something at the bottom (cough…cough..treats…)

He recently got the Rosewood carrot play patch (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FGF5J6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) which he loves but it is more for chewin and less for wearin out if ya catch my drift
