RABBIT PROOFING

Rabbits are natural chewers.  Given proper amounts of hay and chew toys to wear down their teeth, this is not usually a problem.  Some rabbits may chew on electrical wires, carpet, paper or soft wood.  Electrical wires are especially dangerous; keep them out of reach.  You may encase wires in plastic tubing or coat them with Tabasco sauce.  You may also choose to limit your rabbits’ range by keeping doors shut or using baby gates.

If you wish to keep him away from certain areas, put apple bitters on the spot.  It is also a good idea to place your breakables out of your pet’s reach.   Keep in mind that bunnies can hop onto furniture and climb to an extent.

TOXIC PLANTS

Bunny proofing includes keeping your rabbit away from houseplants, ornamental garden plants, and from things you already know that are poisonous to humans.

If you suspect your rabbit has ingested an unsafe plant, please call your vet or the National Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-426-4435 (credit card charge).
