Oh, if that is the problem I would be happy to help! You have to look at the house from a bunn's eye view and keep in mind their genetic imperatives. They will chew, dig, and hide by nature. Your job is to protect them from hurting themselves or your possessions by either keeping them off limits and/or giving a more attractive outlet.

NIC cubes are your friend! They may not be super attractive, but it really helps to keep the kids out of places they should not be (like the back of the couch, blocking access to wires etc.) Here is a picture of the set up for one of my pairs:
This gives them plenty of safe play space for when I'm not directly interacting with them. They have their cage, an upside-down apple box, and their "summer cabana" for bolt spaces. The summer cabana is made from NIC cubes, a fleece blanket on top, and tiles to keep them cool. They have lots of toys for entertainment and chewing, litter box with hay wrack, a fish tank with large mulch pieces for digging. :hiding:
I have all cords in my house either behind NIC panels or covered because Houdini is a cord fiend that LOVES to eat them! 2x4 wood is a nice blocker to prevent them from getting under furniture but then the little ruffle on the couch or chairs prevents people from seeing it. :sofa:
There are so many ideas for bunny proofing if you tell me more of the troubled spots we can work it out together.
As for the nipping you, many teenage bunnies do this because it is how one rabbit communicates with another. Your job is to teach them that it hurts the furless buns (humans). When they nip, squeal. Then say NO firmly and put your hand over their head. Don't push down hard or you may hurt them. You just want to convey that you are top bunny. After a couple times the nipping should turn to nose bonks, which is much better.
