Chewing.

[daisyandoliver]

I love Oliver to pieces. I really do but he is driving me insane with the chewing. He only chews one thing and that is his litter box so there is holes all over the litter box. I can't sleep while listening to chewing plastic. I am going to get him a metal litter box I think then maybe he will realize he can't chew it. Ugh. :/ Anything I can do to maybe stop this? It is hard to keep up on replacing things because he chews them to pieces.

I think getting a metal litter box would be a good call. Does he have lots of other things to chew on (wood, cardboard, etc.)?

Yup! He has a toilet paper roll, just a piece of a cardboard box torn off, a wooden ball play thing, plastic baby rings, mini corn on the cob things that I give him a new one twice a week, unlimited hay... I took his litter box out for 5 minutes and put it back in and he's not chewing it now.. /knockonwood. He's a decent listener actually so maybe he caught the drift that he's suppose to chew his other things and not that.

Just a little side note, I just fixed his cage again because he could fit his head through a hole in the wires and I updated my fb status to...

"Never get a rabbit unless you're willing to spend hours you could be sleeping on a school night to fix their cage so they can't get half of their body out of a hole and hang themselves. Don't get a rabbit unless your willing to spend a lot of money to figure out what they like best. With rabbits and any animal... it doesn't matter what YOU like it's all about THEM. >.> Rabbits are like 2 year olds.. they're noisy, obnoxious, and always want to get into trouble.. But I wouldn't give mine up for anything. <3"

Then put a picture up saying "I minds well put him on a pedestal and call him master. " Haha.
