Could you use a playpen to block off the side ofthe bed which she gets up on? Or possibly tuck the draped sheet underyour mattress so that she cant get in? I can't really think of anythingelse, hopefully someone else migth have some good ideas for you

You could pick a baby gate up in the doorway so she couldn't get into that room at all.

Hello and welcome to the forum. I have a few ideas for you but no guarantees as buns have a mind of their own.
1. Bunnies hate strong odors so possible spray perfume or a householddeodorizer on a towel and throw that on your bed. You could leave ashower curtain under it if you don't like strong smells yourself. Whenreading up on this it also said what is not too strong to you is reallystrong for them so be careful.
2. leave the shower curtain on your bed when you are not there, ourbunny does not like to jump up on plastic. Actually the kind you putdown when you are painting is what she hates. (found out by accidentwhen she jumped up on something) poor thing.
3. when the rabbit jumps up on the bed tell him/her no and place her onthe floor. Rabbits are very intelligent. A few times may be all ittakes. I was able to train ours to stay off the couch that way. Itreclines and is leather so she could easily get stuck in the holebetween the cushions so her over protective parents don't want to takethe chance.

I've found that the NIC (Neat Idea) Cubes workwonders. You can built a little fence out ofthem that can be configured any way you want, and just put it aroundthe bed when you're not home. If you use twist tiesinstead of the connectors for a good portion of it(eventhough the connectors areremovable, they can beabit of a pain for a lot of panels), it will be really easy to fold upand store.
My whole house is full of them in various sizes, blocking offeverything chewable.
They're not very expensive and theylook okay,too.

We have the same problem with Maisie going underthe couch. We zip tied NIC cube panels together as afence-type thing, put that on the floor in front of the couch, and putsomething heavy in front of it so she couldn't just move it out of theway.
Here's a picture of what I mean. Excuse the goofy look of thepicture...I didn't get too detailed, as I thought it would be fairlyeasy to figure out what I mean.
