Hi guys

Elliot has decided that our bright red carpet resembles grass.

i know i should not laugh but he keeps trying to dig it up and pull it out, any ideas

how i could stop this behaviour, before my carpet starts to to bald.

P.S. its so funny when he does it, he goes beserk


:bunjig:

Erm, that's got me! hehe hehe

When our puppy did stuff like that we used a water spray and it worked. I spose you could also use a spray for a bunny but you'd need to take care not to soak him hehe and as he's a house bun he won't be going out in the cold afterwards.

I know that technique works with cats, but i just cant bring myself to do that to

elliot. He knows that he's being naugty you know cause when i try and stop him he

bites me. lol. not hard though.

then he just sits and looks at me.

I keep giving him straw top ups, and he's got chewing blocks, toys.

My partner thinks he's bored, but i play with him.

He's just got spoilt, i think. oooopppps

He's just too cute to be angry with, its his pink nose. :)

Rosie was a sod for doing that in the corners! Does your bun dig in the corners? We have had to put a large pile of books in the corners she did it in and along the dresser we have had to put large pebble stone things.. I was worried that if she actually swallowed any it would make her poorly .. as a friend of mine, her bun rasputin had to go to the vet when he did it as he ate some! So our front room, is a bundle of books in corners and these large pebble things scattered around. oh and a large wooden bison to stop jimmy from eating the carpet next to the fire place!

I have discovered the art of clapping at him when he does it.

Not sure how long this will last.

He picks places all over the carpet which is a pain, i tried putting things on certain places he does it, but he just chooses another place.

:heart:

Elliot isn't related to Bunny is he?! hehe I'm the same as you, Bunny is a fiend with the carpet. Not very often but he pulls lines out the carpet!! Luckily he's not eaten any of it but it's frustrating. I can't bring myself to squirt him either so I say 'NO!' a lot! I do the clapping thing too. Though he's still naughty. Got some great shots when he sneaked under the bed! Will have to get them on here!! He can't be bored, he's got toys, digging boxes etc...and LOTS of love! Grr.

Try giving him stuff like toilet rolls stuffed with grass and cardboard boxes filled with hay and tiny bits of carrot/apple etc buried in there to try and give him something more interesting to do. Willow or apple tree branches are good too.

The clapping is good but he'll probably get used to it eventually and it won't startle him.

Apart from that I don't know

hehe hehe

the toilet roll thing is my favourite thing to do, always hide his bit of carrot in there with some hay :) I think I've come to the conclusion he's just a little attention seeker...in a good way, not in a spoilt bratty way hehe am off home (in the sunshine yay!) to see what mischief he's been up to!

Well let me tell you all about the toilet roll fiasco.

I hid brocoli, cabbage etc in toilet roll.

Unfortunatley he got his head stuck in the carton and had to be saved.

He has now got used to the clapping, and dont care.

He has eaten two strands of carpet before i could get to him, and ran away anyway.

So there i am on the phone to vet AGAIN.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Running out of ideas :aaarggh:

However i try to say NO, very sternley and he just wiggles his pink nose, puts up his ears and looks at me as if too say "what now mummy".

He has now realised that tasty things come from the kitchen, and sits and stares at me while i am doing the washing up.

ITS THE PINK NOSE, every time he wiggles it i just melt.


hehe
