The closet Bunny

[Teddy101]

My bunny never gets enough exercise because when i take him out ( he is out of casge 10 hrs a day) hes either sleeping under my bed or heads straight to my closet . I dont know why but he is always chewing it. Every time he does it, I pull him away, But no matter how much times I move him, he always finds a way a way back to it. Help, what should I do. I also think that he eats the paint.

Block off the closet using some sort of panelling or strong wood, or anything to stop him getting to it. Or you can try just putting a puppy pen around his cage so he has free space to roam but you can restrict access to certain areas.
As for sleeping, what time do you let him out? Most bunnies will sleep a lot during the day and only really get active in the mornings and evenings as they are crepuscular.

When a rabbit gets obsessed with something, Popsicles is right, your only option is to block access fully. The grids people use to build NIC cages are great for barrier-building, or a panel or two from an exercise pen.

There are also sprays that you could find online which don’t taste nice for rabbits that could make him stop chewing it, this could make him loose interest in the cupboard. Make sure you read the reviews though first and make sure they’re bunny safe- I used this with my rabbit and it worked a treat as he was obsessed with chewing wallpaper around the house.
