My mini Rex Brodie has started obsessivelydigging in all five of the rabbits litter boxes. They have two in theircage and three in the rooms that they are let out in. She has onlystarted doing this recently, since she had a litter of babies, that arenow 5months old. She will empty the litter box and then continue to digin the empty box. Four of the boxes are corner boxes and one is a highbacked square box. Brodie knows her name so if I say 'Brodie Stop' sheimediately stops digging and vacates the box. If she gets told to stopenough, she will find a corner of the room with nothing in it and digand dig for like 20 mins. She not wrecking floors or anything because Ihave laminate, But I get sick of the litter boxes contents being kickedacross the floor. It kinda defeats the purpose of havingthem!!I am also concerned with why she is doing it, It isbecoming quite obsessive, occupying a great deal of her time. Could itbe because she thinks she is having another litter(which she isdefinitly not, both my males are neutered) and wants to dig a den???Before she had them she tried many attempts at digging a den but ofcourse failed !!!! While she is in dig mode she gets very cranky witheveryone else, if any of the other rabbits or my cats go near where sheis trying to dig, she lunges and grunts at them. I just don't know whatto do!!!
Has anyone got any insight into why she is doing and how to stop her????
Thanks, Meg
