Bunny obsessed with getting under bed

[Mandapanda573]

Hoping for some help! I just adopted my first bunny about a month ago and she is obsessed with trying to get under my bed! I’ve put cardboard all around the frame so she can’t get under there, but all she does when she’s in the room is dig at the cardboard and try to get under the bed. I’ve tried distracting her, loudly and firmly telling no, shooing away, positive reinforcement when she does literally ANYTHING else in my room, lol. It’s a CONSTANT battle. I’d hate to have my room be off limits to her so looking for any help I can get in keeping her from constantly trying to get past the barrier I’ve put up. She is relentless! Lol.

Can you just make a hide for her there?

I bought wire shelving custom cut to the length and width of my bed and I am going to zip tie it to the legs of my bed when the time comes to allow my buns to free roam. It's a little spendy but it's a long term solution.

Been there. It's a very natural-looking and natural-feeling area for them, so they love it.

I compromised with my buck and bought a cheap bed-sized rug to put down there (so he doesn't chew up the carpet) and let him do his thing. It's become his primary territory (he's accepted me as his bunkmate), and he loves it -- he spends all day under there.

Luckily, he behaves himself in my bedroom -- this wouldn't have worked with my doe who chews on everything and doesn't have perfect litter habbits.
