Hi if you're using a cardboard box - which is theeasiest way to make one - then just fold the lid so that it's tuckedinto itself. I wouldn't use any tape or glue in case your rabbit eatsit.

Hope it works

If you are using cardboard,make sure the bunny doesn't ingest a lot of cardboard because he mightget a blockage.

My bunnies rip up cardboard endlessly, I alwaysmake sure it's untreated, no colour or shiny finish. It's hard to tellhow much they eat and how much they leave around in tiny pieces, butthey've never shown problems.

Can rabbits definitely get blockages from cardboard because I've always thought as natural fibre it just goes through them?

It's been a debate for a bit over that issue.

Personally, I give my rabbits cardboard to chew on, such as boxes toplay in and paper towel/toilet paper rolls to toss and whatnot. I havethree rabbits and none of them have ever shown any negative signs fromthis.

Same here. Bo gets all he wants.

All 5 of our buns love cardboard. About once a month I try to give them some.

Chippy usually pees all over it, so I remove it as soon as I see thatit's soiled. She doesn't see to eat it, but loves to throw it around.

Benji will proceed to chew and rip it into little teeeeeny bits andleave it all over his blankie. Take about a hour depending on the sizeof the piece I give him.

Smore and MooShu kind of just nibble at it and then move it from placeto place in their cages. Like it was a piece of furniture or something.

Brindle turns it into works of art. The last 3 pieces we gave her shesculpted into images of bunnies. We've got them on the wall over hercage. Danielle posted a couple of picture a while back. I'll see if Ican find them again.

IMO.. cardbord is ok in moderation..unless the bun is devouring it, of course.

:~) Jim

I just gave Cosmo a big cardboard hide out with a little window in theside. He's been making the window bigger, and as far as I cansee, is swallowing the pieces, cause there are none laying around thecage. I just wanna know how much cardboard is toomuch? He doesa little bit of remodeling, but its'not like it's been shred to pieces....however the chewing did wake meup this morning!

I'm just soooo worried!!

Help?

Hi Vanessa,

If he is actually ingesting it, I would limit the amount and frequencyof giving it to him. In small amounts won't likely harm him, but largerquantities could possibly cause some tract problem (i.e. impaction).

I'm luck in that none of my buns really eat the cardboard I give them.They nibble a bit from time to time, but most of it ends up shredded onthe bottom of the cage.

My buns usually get a piece once a week. Except Brindle, because she's an artist!!

Stanley chews and eats cardboard all the time. It's about all he does.

Is this bad?

 

[VNess2010]

I guess what we are getting at here is any paper product can be bad if eaten in large amounts....
