My bunny has been getting more and more destructive at night. I’ve had him for a year and about 7 months now and he was never too annoying at night, he’s free roam so I had gotten used to him hopping around at night and eating. He sleeps in my room btw.
Anyways, it is been in these last few months that he has been getting destructive at night. I could deal with the chewing on EVERYTHING, because I bunny proof and at night I cover up what he likes to usually go for, all my wires are tucked away, so it’s a bareable thing. When he finds something new to chew, I just cover it up. What i can’t stand is the digging on everything on purpose to get my attention. He digs on the door and it makes an extremely loud echo or he digs on the side of my desk, on the wall, and he does it every five seconds. I’m not sleeping anymore. A night, I sleep until 2:30 am and then I’m up all night till around 5 am when he decides to calm down completely. What do I do. I use to get him Timothy ball chews but I found out I’m extremely allergic to them, it helped a little but not much because he would move on after a while, understandably. I can’t put him in another room. He gets more than enough outside cage time because I don’t have his cage to lock him on there I have it to keep his litter. I don’t wanna give him away because that’s my buddy, my child, but I AM EXHAUSTED. I live in nyc and neutering a rabbit costs around $500+ . My bunny doesn’t show any behavioral issues in the day, he’s not territorial, he’s very sweet, he’s very well litter trained. It’s just a night he gets so annoying. Does this happen to anyone, what do I do. I also can’t just buy ear plugs because that doesn’t solve the problem.
