why is my rabbit eating it

Probably because rabbit teeth constantly grow, so they need to chew on what ever they can to wear them down. My rabbit does the same. It won't hurt them.

Rabbits love to chew on everything they can sink those teeth into, mine does the same thing, started giving her toilet paper holders and paper towel holders and seem to slow her down. I have had the cage for 2 years now and she doesn't seem to chew on it much anymore.

I'm not sure. My rabbits don't eat this one. Have you tried putting a salt lick or chewing stone in for them. Maybe it's a vitamin deficiency. Also, make sure they get their veggies daily.

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!

Have not used it for rabbits but I believe it would work very well. The pellets are hard, ceramic like, so they will hold up well to the more acidic urine from the bunnies. I think it would be a good, sanitary choice.

Yes our rabbit did chew the inside. Unfortunately, he died about 6 mo after we got this (unrelated) so I don't know how it would hold up long term.

Negative, it doesn't. It will have to be purchased separately.If you have rabbits, I would advise against purchasing the bottom. It will get torn up easily and they will ingest it. I would suggest getting coroplast....it's easy to clean and they can't destroy it.

It is rabbit fur. The inside being card board I do not think is awful; it is not toxic, it breaks down with liquid so if your pet ingests any it just goes right through. Some brands have plastic bodies under the fur. Plastic never goes away & if pets bite it it can have sharp edges, & if pets ingest it it can create problems that may require a Vet. These are truly the best. Ask any cat. LOL :)

A rabbit can chew through nearly anything, unfortunately. The inner part is thick hard plastic but I'm pretty sure a rabbit (or other rodent, like rats) could chew through it which would be dangerous, most likely.I would only use this for a rabbit if you could put it under something while using it. Granted... a rabbit is one of the few common pets I have not had. They sometimes chew through wires and cords though so I figure if they decide they want to they'll chew just about anything.

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.

I am sorry, but I did not buy this pan. I was looking for something similar for a rabbit and found one at Tractor Supply Stores, at half the price, that is 17 x 21 x 6" high in front x 9" in the rear and was not made with Microban (a chemical added to the composition to prevent mold and odors, but is toxic if ingested). Cats are not known to chew their pans, but some rabbits do chew the rims and mine does!

I'm not sure, all I know is rabbits usually poop catty corner to their water source. So you may try moving the water source.

never tried rabbits have a Pomeranian and she just ripped the cover off and ate two meals instead of one. Not constructed very well. Didn't serve it's purpose for me. 7 meals were eaten in about 3 days.

I can't answer that because I've never had a problem with rabbits burrowing. In my yard they live I in the hedges, sneak out, and eat the flowers.

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,..

Yes. Our rabbit chews and has attempted to chew this. The pad is hard, and a decen length of cord is coated metal. Bunny did manage to chew the coating off but that's it. I might consider putting under the gerbil cage if it's plastics bottomed.

I am not sure why that would happen, except they may be tired of it or it is too dry? Do you rehydrate it? My dogs don't have the same enthusiasm they used to have when eating them, however, they still do eat it and they won't eat many foods at all, not even steak. I do feed it to them dry and I rotate flavors. Their favorite flavors are the beef and the lamb. I feed it to them like a treat, but knowing it is good for them makes me happy.

i don't have rabbits, but i do have a dog that eats milk bones and is constantly leaving broken little pieces around and it does pick those up.

Karen, I responded that a rodent could chew through this but to further answer you question I don't know that rabbits have the reputation that squirrels or mice have.

I personally would not. The reason is that the rabbit loves to eat the mats and the mat only lasted at best 2 or 3 days. She had it shredded and it was everywhere for me to sweep up. Another reason is that it is a dry substance and you wouldn't want to start a fire. I am not familiar with heating pads for rabbits or other animals but I myself would not temp fate. I can tell you my rabbit had more fun ripping this apart and eating it than anything else I've given her. Hope this helps.
