bunnitude

lately i've been having trouble with Maya, shedigs out everything in her cage including her food bowl and her litterbox and she won't stop!!! Im sure she must be frustrated because itsbeen a while since she's been out of her cage, but I don't have achoice in the matter as we just put in some newdrywallbecause weare selling the house in a fewmonths so the bunnies aren't allowed out! what should I do? I've toldher NO by holding down her head to try and show her who is boss butthis seems to make her worse and really agitated!

If she cant come out in the house is she allowedoutside in a run? It sounds like shes board and board bunnies developbad habits that are hard if not imposable to break. Think of it fromher point of view, if she is used to being let out, and suddenly thathas changed she just gets angry and properly wonders what she has donewrong, some bunnies see it as punishment to be put in the cage don'tforget she doesn't no why the change has happened. if you cant give herany form of exercise what about giving her some toys to amuse her self.

she is allowed outside, I usually take her outonce a day on her leashe or without it because she is good aboutstaying right beside me. As far as toys go she's got plenty of them inher cage!

sorry I don't no if your bun is a girl or a boy,is it neutered? What about her diet have you changed this or anythingabout the way you usually treat her. Also how long have you had her?

 

[luna21]

She is a female, not spayed and she's been withme for over a year!! there hasn't been any different treatments or foodso I really have no ideawhats eating her !?:?

Is there any place that you can let her out,inside the house, that is 100% bunny proof? I'm sure you could rigsomething up to give the poor thing some outside cage time. My doe getsreally bent out of shape if she's in the cage for too long and doesmuch the same thing.

 

[samandshawn]

Other then her temperament is she well? Perhapsit time to spay her.I don't have any experience with girlsI've only got boys, perhaps its that time of the month.lol

 

[luna21]

I think she's definetly due for a spay! Im goingout to buy expansions for the bunny playpen today, so im going to rigsomething up for her so she can have some freedom!

 

[samandshawn]
