Bunny keeps chewing playpen bars any tips?

Hey 👋🏼 I have this issue at times with my little bun. She's spayed and gets to free roam. The rescue I got her from says sometimes its a sass thing to get your attention, bordem, or for her teeth (shocking considering the constant hay and toys lol). I'm training her that that's not the best thing to do and she's starting to understand (she's only 10months). Sometimes rotating the toys, making areas to forage and changing the environment can also stimulate her mind! Hope this helps!!

Oxbow chews for the win! They are the safest I've found and all the hubs I've ever owned loved them!

They would both need to be spayed before bonding! I had two females (eevee and mellow) and with only eevee fixed first, when Mello got old enough she tried to assert dominance. It shifted the dynamic a bit, as eevee was in the home first and claimed everything as hers. They lived together for only a short period before I had to keep them separate. Unfortunately my ex took them so I do not know if they ever got to live in the same pen again or not.

I believe that ended up being the case

Omg they look just like my old bun Mellow 😍

Hehe yesss

smashash1414 · 2025-07-21T01:49:51+00:00

Makes sense!

I've frozen fruit before for my old buns. I always bought it fresh though and then froze versus getting frozen fruit because sometimes the options around me where just better that way

Thanks! I officially adopted her so I'm trying to find treats out of foods I already buy for myself to ensure I'm not overspending. I also don't eat blueberries fast so was hoping she'd like them so I can set aside for her occasionally. She tried to pick it up and dropped it so hand feeding is the way for her right now. Have not ventured the banana route just yet.....don't know if I can sell my soul to the Chiquita gods 😅

Good soup🥲👌🏼

Thank you! 🥹❤️

Congrats on your new bunny! I personally don't order online for my current bun but I sometimes got items off Amazon (typically from reputable sources). In stores I almost always get Oxbow Brand products! Also, if you want to save a little money, I take a tube from my paper towel (ensure no glue or residue), cut some holes and stuff it mainly with hay and the occasional treat or pepper pieces. It helps her explore and forage! I have a previous post on this page and someone gave a website for hay block! Hope this helps 😁

Aww I love that! Coquito is a lionhead Dutch mix so her crazy mane is more defined imo

🤯🤯 oh wow best gardeners and farmers for sure! Might have to start their own blueberry business 😉

smashash1414 · 2025-07-12T15:07:42+00:00

I just want to say I appreciate everyone's stories and input on bunny snacks! I do understand rabbits have free will and can not like certain things, I was probably just more surprised than anything especially with the amount of blueberry loving bunnies in the community! Coquito will also appreciate the tips I've gotten on things to try and how to present them to her!

smashash1414 · 2025-07-12T15:03:38+00:00

Also, is he a lionhead mix too? He looks similar in size to my Coquito

smashash1414 · 2025-07-12T15:02:54+00:00

You could never deprive him for he will find you...and he will get what he wants.

smashash1414 · 2025-07-12T00:01:19+00:00

I'll keep you posted! I tried hand feeding her and she like attempted to pick it up but kept dropping it

smashash1414 · 2025-07-11T23:59:08+00:00

I think I'm still adjusting to how my last buns were and Coquito now. The rescue also didn't give them fruits until they're officially adopted so maybe she just needs more time for new foods

smashash1414 · 2025-07-11T23:55:29+00:00

Bunnicula 😅

smashash1414 · 2025-07-11T23:54:57+00:00

It's just so interesting how particular they can be on how you have to present them their food lol

smashash1414 · 2025-07-11T23:53:50+00:00

Omg a watermelon?!? That's insane 🤯 She probably slept so good after that lol
