Can you put a towel in your rabbits hutch or will they chew it?

Some rabbits can be trusted with towels/fabric, and other rabbits can't.
Fabric can be dangerous for rabbits: if the rabbit eats any, this can lead to serious health problems; and if the rabbit tears a hole in the towel, it can get its leg or head stuck and get strangled or simply terrified (and rabbits can die from severe fright).
Before leaving a rabbit alone with a towel (or any fabric), give it one when you're there to supervise and observe the rabbit's behaviour. Do this for a few days. If the rabbit tries to eat it, take it away and stick to edible products only (like natural grass matts). If the rabbit doesn't try to eat it, you can give it to her as a part of her habitat.
If you give a towel to your rabbit, look it over every day for holes or signs of eating, and wash it once a week or so.
If your rabbit is only a little prone to tearing/eating towels, you might be safe with a dense-weave low-pile fabric (think the opposite of shag), that has no holes or tears in it. It's like wallpaper: the rabbit will probably ignore it unless there's a little bit sticking out to attract her attention, and then she'll peel the entire wall.
Making sure your rabbit has plenty of hay to graze on and keep her occupied will also reduce her destructive tendencies.

One person writes: My rabbit does just fine with some old towels we have in his cage. He does like to fig and rip them occasionally so I would suggest old towels.

What will happen when you change something in a rabbits hutch?
It will disorient the rabbit and likely it will try to put it back where it was. If you put something in its 'potty corner' it will go to the bathroom on whatever you put in the corner.
How long do you keep breeding rabbits together?

Where should pet rabbits sleep?
Rabbits can live in a hutch outside with a surrounding of chicken wire. During the night it is best to bring your rabbit inside in a little hutch for inside. Be carefull of its whereabouts.Domestic rabbits live anywhere people keep them. Domestic rabbits don't naturally live anywhere in the wild: that's what makes them domesticated. All the different breeds of domestic rabbit were bred from a single species: the European Rabbit. Wild European Rabbits live in the Mediterranean region.

What to do to warm bunnies?
I would really recommend keeping a bunny inside! Also, a hutch is not the right habitat for a bunny! Please keep your bunny free roamed or in a large pen inside! I would highly recommend watching Lennon the Bunny on YouTube to research care and to learn more about housing inside! Also, feel free to ask me any questions!
Where should you put your rabbit?
in a hutch.
How many rabbits in one cage?
You should only keep one rabbit in a hutch. Rabbits get territorial so they fight when put together. The only time you could put two rabbits in one hutch would be if they have always been in the same hutch and they are the same sex, but this does not always work. Its always safer to place them in their own hutches
What do you do with rabbits if it is snowing?
there are 2 things you can do with rabbits and guinea pigs during the winter-especially if it is snowing. more rabbits die in the winter than in any other time in the whole year! so you have to look after them well. here are how to do it: 1. this is definitely the best thing to do with your rabbits. if it is possible, bring them into the house. keep them in a spacious room or cardboard box (with holes in it for breathing ad not too small) but beware of the waste they may produce over night! leave them there overnight and put them back outside for a quick run around in the morning! 2.this is what i do with my rabbits and they don't whimper at all or die! you have to have loads and loads of hay to put in their hutch. clean them out and then place it all into there hutch. this prevents any of their waste to make them cold. a good tip would be to make sure you give them a little tiny pot of food each so that they can be warm and eat at the same time! then this part is very important, you must put a waterproof sheet over the hutch to keep all the warmth inside the hutch. this makes a massive difference to how warm they are! Don't forget holes in the sheet, so they get air to breathe!
Why do rabbits poop even after you clean up the cage from previous poop?
The rabbit's urine has penetrated into the floor of the hutch. Put the rabbit into another hutch. Bleach the old hutch inside and out (wear goggles and water-proof gloves), leave soaking for a couple of hours, then rinse with warm soapy water, then clean water a couple of times. Leave the hutch to stand in the open air for several days before putting the rabbit back in.
Can you put a towel in a rabbit's nest box?
If this question is about a nesting box where the rabbit will take care of her babies, the answer is no: do not put a towel or any fabrics in the nesting box. Only put hay in the nesting box. See the related link below for more details about building a nest for a pregnant/nursing bunny.If this question is about the rabbit's enclosure in general:Towels can be dangerous for some rabbits. Some rabbits like to bite and tear towels, and then there's the risk of digestive problems if they eat any of it, or they could rip holes in the towel and get their head or legs caught in it, which can lead to panic and injury.Other rabbits are fine with towels: they might scratch at them a bit but they don't eat them or rip them open.Whether or not you can put a towel in with your rabbit depends on his or her behaviour. For the first week or so, only let the rabbit have a towel when you're there to supervise. Once you're sure the rabbit isn't being dangerous with the towel, then you can put it in the nest box or cage permanently; but inspect the towel every day for signs of damage or wear.See the related question below about rabbit cages for more information about what to put in the rabbit's enclosure.More info:no because it would scare the rabbit and she could go into shock also you might confuse what time of day. another thing it that rabbits only need 8 hours in the dark
Is is better to put the tower on the desk with hutch or on the floor beside it?
A matter of personal opinion. I would not put the tower on top of the hutch at all.Mainly due to the size.
