Question
hi, i have 3 rabbits, all of which chew on things they are not meant to every now and again, but my youngest rabbit just wont stop, it started with the usual chewing on wires and carpets etc, but now its skirting boards, walls, wall paper, everything she can get he teeth on.  i spray a stop chew spray on areas to keep her away, which sometimes works! can u suggest anything else? and advice wil be much appreciated.

Answer
Have you given the bunnies substitutes for the things you don't want them to chew on?  Have you blocked them from the areas you don't want them to chew on?

Sometimes Ivory Soap in bar form will work, I've not found any of the sprays to work.
