Cat Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 hi, 2 of our rabbits really like chewing our clothes while we hold them and one of them ate a plastic animal!!! does anyone know why they do this and how we can prevent it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Rabbits will love to chew as their teeth are constantly growing and they need to wear them down so you need to give them things to chew in their pens You can buy plastic toys for them but they will chew them up so a piece of fruit wood is a good toy that they can gnaw on Cardboard boxes are a great game as well as being good, easy and cheap to destroy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 That's true Louise One of mine eats clothes, the other doesn't. They have pieces of wood in their cage to gnaw on (not cherry though), and lots of hard plastic toys that they can't eat. I also sometimes give them cardboard boxes to destroy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 can they have plum wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Not sure, there's a list I found once somewhere on the internet forsomeone else who asked me years back. I know that cherry is def out, apple is fine and they like it, but don't know about plum. Try doing a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lera Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Mine love the twigs generated when my neighbour prunes his large apple tree. They eat them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
