My english lop Mississippi, or Sippi is used to getting out of his cage every morning while we do the morning chores. Well now when we are in the rabbitry and we don't let Sippi out he chews on his cages and rattles the door. Our cages are made of wood and so Sippi's bottom of his door is really chewed on. It almost is like he is cribbing, which is what horses do. Is there anything we can do to make him stop? We don't want him to ruin our cages any more than he has.
So far right now whenever he does that we tell him no and sometimes give him a sharp tap on the nose. He is also only around 6 months old so could that be the problem also? We are just having a hard time taking him off the habit of getting out that much because we knowif we let it go on it will be even harder for him to stop. But it isn't working,because when he does that we have to let him out sohe won't annoy us.
Please if you have any advice/ideas letus know. Thank you.
