You probably don't want your rabbit to chew the legs of that antique dining table you have, but to your bunny it's just a chew toy, so it's going to take some effort on your part to stop him from chewing things he shouldn't.
Move house plants out of reach, and cover or remove all cables (rabbits love chewing through cables!). Books, magazine, clothes are all attractive chew toys for your bunny, so unless you want to be constantly at the shops replacing items, keep them out of reach.
TOP TIP! If you rabbit attacks your carpets or wall paper:
- Prevent access. Can you block the area off from your rabbit?
- Prevent damage. You may want to consider covering your carpets or walls with protective sheets. Most office suppliers can provide carpet protection rugs (clear plastic sheeting). Or you could consider buying cheap carpet doormats or rugs specifically for your rabbit to "work on". Seagrass doormats are an excellent choice for your rabbit.
- Provide lots of distraction by offering your rabbit other options. Toys, cardboard boxes, wicker baskets, even toilet rolls stuffed with hay!
