Not a happy hutch

Forgetting the bunnies for a second... (heaven forbid I should ever sa such a thing!)

How do I protect the hutch from being knawed to pieces? I put knawing blocks and plenty of hay in the hutch.... but the bunnies just keep eating the hutch! I would'nt mind too much, but it took me a while to put it up!

What kind of wood is it made out of?

I have to admit my bunnies do have a gnaw on their hutches but they have never actually destroyed on yet!

You could use angle iron to protect the wood that sticks out but it'll spoil the bun's fun and they could get up to other worse mischief....

What's an angle iron

Mine did the same (the brunei lot now chew on any exposed wood in their pen ) and all I could find was that they eventually just got bored of it.

I'd fling every cardboard box you have at them (must be plenty as you've just moved in?), toilet roll tubes stuffed with hay, old phone books, pretty much anything chewable to try and distract them...

If that fails I'm out of ideas.

Are any of them neutered? That often helps to calm them down

I had the same problem with Tigger... he started to devour the window frame in the playhouse.

I have secured mesh to the areas most vunerable..... & (touch wood) it appears to have done the trick.

His attention is now diverted to an old pine side table I put in to use as a launch pad....
