Rabbits chew instinctively, and it's essential for their dental health. If your rabbit is chewing on inappropriate items, it often indicates a lack of suitable alternatives or boredom. Provide plenty of safe chew toys, such as untreated wood, cardboard tubes, and natural fiber mats. Rabbit-proof your home by covering exposed wires and blocking access to tempting furniture. Redirect unwanted chewing with positive reinforcement. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
