Why does he do this?

[amber55]

Ok so my room is 95% perfect rabbit proof.
One spot he hasn't found but one he wont leave alone.
He wants to be behind my computer no mater how many times I pull him out from behind and try SO HARD to find stuff to block him he is determined to get behind there.

And its not like he doesn't know I don't want him back there when I'm not there to stop him or if I walk away for a minute he will CHARGE back there what do i do?
I can't let him back there becuase he already almost chewed through one of my wires.

Rabbits know the rules most of the time and take GREAT delight in flouting the rules. After all, its so much more fun if you're not supposed to be there.

What is it you are using to ry and block him off? Could you maybe use NIC panels? Or something like a panel from a panelled run?

Have you tried wire covering in the meantime just in case he accidently does get through?

If you could put your location in your profile that would be great, thanks It means you can get more appropriate advice.

I would use wire or a solid board to block him. Bunnies tend to like going into small dark places.

we boxed in all the wires with pine--had to take out screws to get to them. And I wouldn't loan out my tools to the rabbits. Only way to make it rabbit proof is to make it truly rabbit and people proof. Not the most convenient thing, but it beats having to replace what they can damage.

Me and my step dad are remodeling my room next weekend so we are going to work on making my room 100% so thanks for the tips :]

That's what I was going to suggest, is using NIC panels to block it off. We had to do that at one point to block off the under-the-couch area. Works like a charm! (Just be sure that the wires are at least a couple inches from the NIC panels, so he doesn't have the ability to grab them through the bars. Our Maisie is a PRO at this, lol!)

Wire shelving also works great for blocking off areas:

I also have this problem and I used NIC panels to block off the wires behind my computer. I use a couple NIC panels wedged under where your feet go in the desk and then I taped a couple panels to the sides of the desk where there is a gap to the wall. Any cords that stick out a bit I covered with plastic cord covers.

If you don't have NIC panels pieces of wood or coroplast(plastic cardboard stuff) also work great.

Tony does this too. We have cords behind our couch and he tries like mad to get back there. He would pull nails we had holding the NIC grate in place to block it off up out of the wall (by pulling on the grate, not the nails themselves). We had to make a top shelf thing to go between the couch and the wall as he'd climb up there and jump all the way down to get at it. Now he's trying to dig through the couch to get there. Bf is not happy when we come home to piles of stuffing. Really, some bunnies are just smart, mean, nasty little buggers who want to get into trouble and do the opposite of what you want them to. Tony does this all the time, doing something he gets scolded for, waiting to be scolded, and then binkying off in delight.

Just saying, you better figure out a good way to keep him out, especially if you ever leave him alone. My guys aren't really allowed on the couch, but the second we leave the room, they're up there looking for something to chew. When I leave in the morning too, they go straight for their latest project (usually a scheme to get behind the couch) and work at it all day long.
