My rabbit keeps chewing on baseboards. How can I stop this destructive behavior?

[]

Answer

Rabbits chew as a natural behavior to wear down their continuously growing teeth and explore their environment. When they chew destructively, it often means they lack appropriate alternatives. Ensure your rabbit has plenty of safe chews like hay (which should be 80% of their diet), untreated wood toys, and cardboard tubes. You can also try bitter apple spray on areas they chew, but this doesn't always work on all rabbits. Enrichment, exercise, and providing a rabbit-safe environment are key. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
