I don't let my bun Bookworm run around on thefloor inside our apartment. It is carpeted and it isimpossible to completely bunnyproof it. Far too many placesto hide and bad things to chew on. (our apartment is one roomand has far too muchstuff in it) Furnature can bereplaced at the thrift store if he trashes and pees on it, the carpetbelongs to the landlord...
We let him run on our furniture and we put up barriers to keep him fromgetting on the floor. He can run from his cage, all the wayacross the room to our bed without getting on the floor.
Anyway, he started yesturday to jump over the barriers and down to the floor.
He did this once and immediately started doing it again and again. He even jumps off my lap onto the floor!
I pick him up and roll him in a ball and hold him on his back tellinghim he is bad in a firm voice, then put him in his cage and close thedoor for a few hours. It doesn't seem tohelp.
HELP!!??!!
How can I convince/keep him from going where we do not want himto? What is the best way to let him know we are upset withhim without traumatizing him?
Thank You!!!
