Hi There,

We have a lovely house rabbit who likes to chew! We have bunny-proofed most of our flat however we is still nibbling on the walls (on the 90 degree angles that stick out on the corners)
Does anyone know of any products that could possibly cover the walls to protect them from his teeth?

I have looked on child safety and industrial websites, tried petsmart, diy shops etc but nobody seems to have anything, help!

now this worked forus but it may not work on all bunnys

our rabbit used to peel off and eat wallpaper lol
we use a product that stops dogs chewing on furnishings and stuff and comes in a spray bottle and is a terrible tasting liquid that comes in a spray bottle and suposivly lasts for ages on the sprayed article

its non toxic and harmless only it tastes horrid "not that ive tasted it hehe"

anyways it stoped him chewing the wallpaper

they will chew on anything even carpets and curtains
anything

you can get like corner protectors that will protect your corner areas and are normaly metal and come in a 90 degree angle that can be glued to the wall and painted

or if you are mainly just protecting the wall perhaps some wood cladding
or buy some plaster board or mdf sheets
these can be screwed in place and will provide heavy duty resistaince
for chewing bunnys
and can be painted to blend in with your decor
athough that is going to extreme mesures

i would try the spray and see how you get on

failing that use a bit of creativity
look for sommit in a diy shop that might protect the corners
you might find something that was intended for other uses that might be perfect for the job

good luck

You can get chew stop for rabbits/rodents from pets at home. I got my buns different natural chew toys, cardboard boxes for distraction therapy!! Do you shut them away at night or when you are not in?

I taught my buns the word 'no' you reinforce it with a firm bang on the ground with your hand which means danger in bunny language. Mine were shut away when unsupervised in their own large utility room which had no wallpaper or carpet!

When asked why, the boy explained that the stranded starfish would die if left to lie in the morning sun. ‘But there are millions of starfish on this beach' said the old man. ‘How can your efforts make a difference?’The boy picked up another starfish and placed it in the waves. ‘It makes a difference to this one.' he said

duplicate! sorry

thank you for your responses - we have tried a spray that I supposed to make the rabbit not chew again - it only worked for a few days though so it wasn;t all that sucessfull!
He is shut in the large hallway whilst we are at work, still a long space for hum to run up and down in and he chews the walls in there. He still chews when he has the run of the house though - anything that is in front of him he trys to eat - including shoes!
We had him neutered a few weeks ago which I thought might help with the chewing as he would be a calmer bunny, however it seems to have made no difference at all!

We need some kind of plastic coating on the walls to stop him, perhaps I will have a look around the DIY shops at the weekend then, thanks!
