Hey everyone, my rabbit has a thing for eatingpaper at the moment. She has plenty of fresh food and water butwhenever i leave she starts eating the newspaper that is in there. Isthis normal? Could it be dangerous? Im worried because of the chemicalsin the text on newspaper

Is she eating a lot of it? It couldcause her to bind up if she eats a bunch. However, I usepaper/cardboard and Bo eats it.

Sounds like she's having separation issues as well.

Shes eating a far few strips of it. She doesntseem to be havin seperation issues, she loves a cuddle but i guess shemay miss her old owner? altho they treated her like dirt

We had a really hot day yesterday and all day she was stretched rightout in the bath she looked so cute! Whenever i went in there she rolledover and looked like she was playing dead. My baby is so smart lol itickled her tummy and she rolled back over! How cute!

Don't let her eat a lot orshe might get a blockage. If you notice her poops are getting smalldon't give her anymore paper.

That's all part of "marking" new territory, especially places that justreek of human scent, likea bed or a piece offurniture. Obviously, of course, your scent would be human,too. That behavior will most likely be diminishing as timegoes on and she has established herself in your home.

Things read a little more easily if your reduce the size of your font, I've found. Looks like you're shouting at us.

My rabbits have been eating paper since I gotthem with no problems. I guess it might depend on the rabbit, but ifshe's pooping normally I wouldn't worry .

Sorry I guess it was my mistake. The problem is with cardboard not paper
