Why does my rabbit keep chewing on the cage bars at night?

[]

Answer

Rabbits chewing on cage bars, especially at night, often indicates boredom, a lack of appropriate chew toys, or insufficient space. Rabbits have continuously growing teeth, so they have a strong natural instinct to chew to keep their teeth trimmed and healthy. If they don't have suitable items to chew on, they'll resort to cage bars. First, ensure your rabbit's diet includes plenty of hay. Provide a variety of safe chew toys, untreated wood, or cardboard. Also, consider if their enclosure is large enough with sufficient enrichment. If chewing persists, it could be a sign of dental issues requiring a vet check. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance on rabbit enrichment.
