Digging

[Lillianp99]

Between 5-8 in the morning my rabbit Lucy wants to dig in ther cage. I haven't had her too long and her old owner said she never did it. She started digging within 2 weeks of me owning her. I don't know what caused it. She's fixed also. :rabbithop

I don't think there's much you can do to stop a rabbit from digging, maybe put more toys inher area to play with and maybe distract her.

Could you get her a dig box?

They dig because of boredom. Get her some toys and enrichment stuff and she should stop digging 😊 good luck with her

My bunny gets let outside each morning and digs in the back yard for a few minutes. I don't think he does this out of boredom but more out of instinct. I leave the screen door open and he's in the kitchen within 10 minutes from backyard playtime. He's a creature of habit so I just let him dig ...plus it might be a way to naturally trim his claws.

In your case it's obviously not boredom. But in most cases they dig
1-pregnant (making underground nest)
2-boredom
3-habit

And in most cases with boredom toya with help. And the others you can't help its natural😊

Your lucky! My bun usually wakes me up between 3-4am and then again at 5.30am, she sometimes even decides to wake me up at 2am.
She is a cheeky one who loves to jump off and onto her box constantly and doing the bunny 500 in her x- pen. Morning and night are when they are most active
