Health & WellbeingHow can I stop my rabbit from chewing her fleece blanket? She does it when she tries to escape and I do provide her with plenty of toys but she just ignores them. I'm hoping she hasn't ingested alot of the fleece.
Bunnies are notorious at chewing up objects in the house! It is a natural behaviour, which we can try to redirect by giving her other options to chew on, such as timothy hay disguised inside cardboard tubes, commercial hay tunnels, or other types of bunny-safe toys where you can hide the hay in. Basically, anything that involves searching out and chewing hay would be great because it allows them to act out on their chewing in a safe, healthy, and mentally stimulating way. Unfortunately I agree with you, the fleece blanket is not safe if she is potentially ingesting pieces and it should be removed. I hope this helps! And have fun with your bun - she is such a cutie!
