My rabbit keeps biting it, how did you get your rabbit/pet used to it or sleep in it?

I didnt have that problem with any of my 4 pigs, they just jumped in them. Have you tried placing a treat in there or maybe sitting with her while she/he is in it? Good luck, I think once she/he figures it out they will enjoy it.

Lol, my rabbit chews on it sometimes still too. She likes to try to pull it around with her like a toy also. I just hooked it to one of the cage "bars" so that she can't pull it around too much and set her in it. She did not stay long, but got the idea. Sometimes she flattens it out and lays on top of the outside of it and honestly, sometimes my silly rabbit like to lay in her litter box. She thinks that is a cool bed rather than a litter box, lol! Anyway, I would just keep sitting her back in it and she will probably decide it is a snuggley place to be. Good luck!

I just put it in the cage and my piggies just get in, get snuggly and snooze. Does your rabbit have enough other things to chew on?

I only use bedding in the bottom pan, we do not put bedding on the wire rack. My bunny has no problem with her feet hurting on the wire, but I do make sure she has a bed to lie on if she wants. I really like this cage because the bottom pan is so deep and the poo does not overflow. I also don't recommend putting bedding where your bunny can sit in its own urine since they can get a parasite that could come from sitting in its urine. You can also put hay on the wire to help the bunnies feet.

I haven't had success with the trap myself. The rabbit has actually taken the bait without tripping the mechanism. Try putting some petroleum jelly on the bars so there is no friction. It can't hurt and might work.

You need to slide it to the second position. That way the bunny wakes up but there is no sound that goes off

I have not had any problem with my cot. Covering the mesh defeats the reason of the cot being a cooling bed. My lab loves laying on it in the hot day. No chewing but then she is 10 yrs. old. Hopefully your puppy will out grow the chewing.

Ours sleeps in his at night. I put Timothy Hay inside on one half and in the back he has a soft bed with a pillow that he loves.

My rabbit does chew on it. It's holding up well to the chewing but, yes, he has chewed it up a bit.

Hey Stacy,.. I am not too sure,as I have a family of 5 bunnies that reside in an extra large dog cage, so they have the bottom of that to protect their feet. I did purchase one of the Peter mats but my rabbits had it totally torn apart after a few days. They also were spoiled using it, as they got a bit lazy and urinated on it etc. But regardless, It is worth trying out for the price! Just try n make sure u get something that is ok for them to ingest, as having a new item in their area may cause them to nip at it etc. Unless u get another new chew toy in there at the same time,.. it may help distract him or her from the new 'carpet". Sorry I couldn't be of more help!!! Best of Luck, Kristi Hey Stacy,..

Our rabbit has done the same thing. Rabbits love to chew on anything available. I googled it and I found you should keep the bunny busy with toys and other things to keep its mind off of chewing its house!

I have had 2 different rabbits in mine and they have not chewed on it at all. I assume that if they started to, then you could provide more entertainment for them like toys various treats etc. I use mine especially when they are going to have babies. Works wonderful, hoping to get another.

Yes. My chinchilla wakes me up everynight from jumping around, and his cage is in another room. I also have to take his wheel out otherwise the cage rattles entirely too much.

Coincidentally, I have a dog who sleeps on it. She is my rather stocky Olde English Bulldogge. Her nails do not damage the mattress because I bought a decently padded mattress pad. I suggest you do the same! Besides protecting the mattress from tears, the mattress pad, if washed im bleach and rinsed well, helps keep dust mites from settling in.

You need to shorten the strap, or otherwise they can do that! Just leave it long enough for them to lay down!Just don't attach to their collar, too dangerous and can cause them to choke. I use their cloth harness, and attach the ring on the strap to the ring on their cloth harness, I obtained from Dorothy's Harnesses@gmail.com.

It depends. It could be permanent housing. I'm not sure about your rabbit, but mine is pretty clever. He finds ways to push the bars around so I don't like to leave him unsupervised in it for more than a few hours. Whenever I'm home he is in the playpen, but when I leave I put him in his regular cage just to be safe.

I do not have a rabbit problem but it works with deer. It has a mint smell. If rabbits don't like mint they will be repelled.

Depends on how sharp your dogs nails are. My dog sleeps on it and its fine but he doesn't purposely claw at it. Like any other bed it will tear if he/she claws at or digs at it.
