Why do rabbits bite cloths?

Answer 1

They really like to chew! They NEED to chew! Be sure that you are providing things that are safe for them to chew on such as cardboard, sticks from your yard, empty toilet paper tubes, etc. Cloth toys are NOT good! The fibers can get stuck in their intestines.

Answer 2

Rabbits chew their cage for many reasons, like boredom, anger, the urge to be free (get out of the cage), or because their teeth are too long and it's bothering them.

About boredom: Rabbits need enough room in their cages to move around, and they need some toys of play structures in there to keep them entertained. Rabbits that are bored can turn destructive, aggressive, reclusive, depressed, anxious, and sick. See the related questions below about rabbit cages and playing for more info and helpful links.

About teeth: A rabbit's teeth never stop growing, so they might chew on the cage to grind down their teeth. However, this is not a safe way to let your rabbit grind her (or his) teeth down: metal bars are too hard and can injure a rabbit's teeth! The best way to keep a rabbit's teeth in good health is to give the rabbit plenty of hay to eat - unlimited amounts, 24/7. Twigs and branches are also good for this purpose.

Hay: Normal, healthy adult rabbits need grass hay, like timothy, brome, orchard grass, meadow grass, bluegrass, etc. Alfalfa hay (a legume hay) is better for juvenile rabbits (under 7 months), pregnant and nursing rabbits, and some sick/underweight rabbits (under a vet's care) - but it's too high in proteins and calcium for most adults. Hay should be sweet-smelling, fresh, greenish, not mouldy at all, and low on dust.

Twigs and branches: Choose branches that don't have any pesticides on them, or car exhaust, or other chemicals. Some woods are toxic to rabbits (like pine, cedar, and the wood of stone fruits, like cherry, peach, and plum), so make sure you're giving your bunny safe woods. Some safe woods include: apple, willow, and twigs from berry bushes (like raspberry, blackberry, strawberry).
