Hi am quite new to being a rabbit owner. I am already getting fed up with buying new hutches when they have chewed the old one to bits, does anyone know if they can go in a metal hutch if so where can i get one?

Hi and welcome to HH. I've not heard of a metal hutch for buns, I'd imagine it would become an oven/deathtrap in the summer/ heatwave?

I'm a bit confused- You're new to rabbit owning, how quickly have your bun(s) eaten the hutch, and how many have you bought so far?

Mine do chew their hutch, but not enough to damage it. Are your buns getting enough to do? Could they be chewing the hutch out of boredom? They do need a good bit of exercise. If they are outside buns, they need access to a run so they can burn off their boredom and stretch their legs. If indoors, you need to ensure they get some time out of their hutch too.

You can also give them willow balls, apple wood branches to chew so that hopefully they don't chew the hutch.
