My little girl, Daisy has developed an interest in chewing on her "long john". She only fairly recently started using it consistantly (within the last couple months, I'd say) so I definitely don't want to discourage the behavior.

She has lots of toys to play with. Boxes of all sizes, hard plastic measuring spoons, paper, paper towel tube rings.

I noticed that she developed an interest in chewing on the potty acoupleweeksback when small flecks of the bright green potty would end up all over the cage floor. No biggie I thought since my other bunny, Sammy chews on his potty (but no pieces come off).

Then, this morning I come out to feed them (seperate housing) and there is a nice chunck of Daisy's potty that is MIA. Its about 1.5 in wide by 1 in deep. Missing. And no trace of a big piece anywhere. Just little flecks. I don't know if it ended up getting dumped when her potty was cleaned. Or if it has been happening for a while (although I would like to think that I would notice a potty that chewed up).

At this point, I'm not sure what to do. Not worry about it, and replace the potty when it becomes too damaged?? Or find a different potty that she cannot destroy- but then what kind??

I really like that this potty attaches to the corner of the cage. She can sometimes wiggle it out, but for the most part it is securely attached.



Any ideas? :)
 
bunnies! apart from 24/7 observation:p have you tried those sprays which are supposed to keep pets from chewing. i used a lemon one when my dog was a pup. obviously you wouldnt spray it all over the litter box, but just a small dab on the chewed bit?.

try putting ' chewing' into the forum search bar - im sure i've seen vanilla mentioned as a deterent:? i would check this out tho'
