Molly!!!!!

I think I preferred the skirting board chewing to the carpet "plucking"!!!!

She

Is

Driving

Me

Crazy!!!!!

In fact, it's not even just the carpet. She destroys everything.

I can't even put her through in the kitchen now because she's discovered the rubber on the feet of N's high chair

Good Golly Miss Molly!

Good lord ! I have no idea what to suggest. This is rather controversial but what about a water bottle ?

To do what with the water bottle?

Do you get Rabbiting On?
If yes, check out the first question on page thirty. You may get some ideas of how to cure your wayward madam from the answer.

A rather small but swift squirt from the water bottle when pulling at the carpet. Its not something Ive done, but molly is a smart girl and water is compeltely harmless to them.

is it definitely all behavioural issues? just when sox was in pain he then started to pluck at my rug, but he was fine when his kidney and dental pain where under control

You might be on to something there! I've been jingling my car keys at her tonight which seems to be working well. Water bottle with be the next step. Thanks

I'm afraid I don't

I'm as sure as I can be. She's always been a little **** It just varies in severity

She's currently having a good old binky about on the sofa!

I am half laughing and half very sorry for you love, it sounds amusing but I can see how it is becoming a real problem.  Our bunny Snuffles was like that and when we shouted at him for doing something he would do several circuits around the room and binky, as if he was playing a joke on us.  Seriously though love, I hope you find a way to curb her enthusiasm    Keep us posted.

Well in the RO there was a question about chewing and the RWA expert answered that to discourage the rabbit you could smear a light film of soap on the object they are chewing. They advise you use unscented, traditional style soaps and say that after a few encounters with the nasty taste they will leave the objects alone.

Have you tried anything yet love and has it worked?

Yea ...how is operation molly going?

Aside from tonight she hasn't been too bad!!! Because I invested in some hay tunnels to keep her busy! £7.50 a pop, lasts them 2 maybe 3 evenings if I'm lucky

Oh well!

That might work with the high chair!

*whispers* Although, she's seems to have forgotten about it for now!

She hasnt forgotten about it..... she is saving it til later ;-)

I agree with Katie. The highchair is on the back burner for the present, till you have forgotten about it, then .... Beware the Mollster!

Her mother loved carpet too! Sorry.

I tried rubbing Olbas oil onto to skirting board in her favourite plucking areas. That worked but you need to keep re-applying.

Me too, she is a saving it up so she will be able to give you a nice surprise LOL!!
