So we've been with our fluff ball giant for about 3\4 a year now, he's been living inside for about 3-4 months(from mid-november or somewhere around that time) and he got neutered just after he moved inside with us too. He's a single bunny...
That's devoted to ABSOLUTELY WRECKING THE PLACE!
So here's the deal. He's in our living room permanently, with his cage compound there for the night, he usually gets to roam around most of the day.( he's kind of a lazy wart so he lays around almost always.) He has good litterbox habits most of the time, but he still sometimes feels the need to leave a smudge on our couch or my parents' bed like this morning. No biggie, mishaps do happen from time to time, he's been a naughty messy bun from the very start. He loves digging a lot when he's being active for once.
He digs HIS pillow, HIS rug. He flings around HIS cardboard box. And OUR beds, and OUR couches. OUR blankets and sheets have countless holes because of him. My sister's foam mattress is like a TRENCH HOLE because of his mischiefs. That poor mattress has digging holes all over it.
He munches on MY eraser, (i was dumbfounded by that and confiscated the item from his possession), my pencils. He took away an ash log of ours. (I think it was ash. A fairly light-coloured grey-white sort of bark, safe for buns to eat.) Not that i object of him chewing that. But! ... He steals OUR gummies, OUR chips and OUR chocolate, fish cookies too. He zoomed away with a bite of my bread!
Just for a disclaimer though:
I picked him EXACTLY because he was a little booger thumper, sir-grunt-a-lot. Because i thought with him living outside, it wouldn't be such a big deal if he's a tad bit wonky. But it makes him mischevious when indoors. So i have come here in hopes of finding some solutions.
I am tired of putting up box barriers on my bed, massive pillows on the couch and sister's bed, taking away carpets so he won't get tempted to go to parents' bedroom.
His litterbox is a okay, he can't spill or fling it. When it gets full, he drizzles skmewhere else. We change the pellets in the box and it's okay again. That i know how to solve.
The digging, however, not so much.
He has his box, but he's tempted to chew it. Not good.
We can't seem to find a box that would be undestroyable and also big enough for him to dig about in. Our closest attempt with one he could fit into was filled with hay. That lagomorph had to go and use it as his toilet. Not good.
I'd give him toys. The only ones i could access are tp roll and crdbrd ones. (Our pet supplies are absolutely limited here.) He EATS them, like literally. Not good.
He smashed his roller ball. We can't get another one anytime soon.
I'd give him a tube tunnel, but he's too big for any of them out there and as dear as he is to me, i'm not willing to pay 20€ just to get one for him. Same with mazes. Not good.
Parents absolutely decline getting him a buddy. And i understand their reasoning. We're financially and spacely tight right now. He'll get a friend when i move one day.
So he's a huge dig-o-maniac that i cannot seem to properly distract from mischief. Luckily he hasn't struck cable wires at all despite wrecking my earbuds a dozen times.
ALL HELP VERY MUCJ APPRECIATED!!!
