My female rabbit has in the past week developed an incredibly irritating habit of digging in her cage all through the night. It's making a huge mess in her cage (she's totally ripping the hell out of all her newspaper and flinging it everywhere) and, more importantly, keeps my fiance and I awake throughout the night. WE NEED TO SLEEP. We thought it might be that she suddenly didn't like the dark, but leaving a "nightlight" on didn't help. We thought it might be that the air purifier wasn't on, and turning it on SEEMED to help...but then she started up again half way through the night.
I'm afraid that this is as "simple" as nesting/maternal behavior. I really cannot afford to have her spayed right now, so I'm hoping someone has another idea. No, I don't believe she could be pregnant either. I've had her for almost a year now, and the only other rabbit she's been around is a neutered male.
I really need a proper night's rest -_- I can put her out in the kitchen for the night, but it's a huge hassle and I'd rather figure out the problem than keep having to clean up the kitchen floor.
