Blanket

This morning when i woke up i noticed my girly had chewed through the fleece blakey i put down for her. Should i be concerned and take her to the vet.

How is she acting? Does she have an appetite? Does she poop and pee?

If she stops eating and/or pooping, you should take her to a vet. If she’s acting normal, eating and drinking and toiletting, I’d just keep an eye. Fleece isn’t the worst material a bunny can ingest, it has no treads that can get stuck. My Bam often chews holes in his fleece blankets and so did my Yohio. Encourage hay consumption, that’s the best thing for a bunny tummy.

Okay yea she is eating and going normal

Then it’s probably nothing to worry about. Rabbits tend to chew non-food items really well, and that’s great because they can’t vomit, so everything that goes in must come out at the opposite end. And as a rule it does so.

Olly has chewed through many blankets, anything without a label saying rabbits on is food to a bunny, so if your bunny likes to chew make sure she can’t get near electrical wire, you can give bunny a big cardboard box to chew, that’s what I did with Olly and it stopped him chewing his blanket, but she will keep you awake, bunnies that chew love to chew boxes at 2:00 in the morning and wake you up.

You should just make sure that she is doing everything normally. But you should not let this happen! If you see her doing this, stop her right away! Take the fleece blanket away then put it back after a while. If your bunny constantly chews blankets it will cause health problems. Of course if you don’t see her chewing but you suddenly notice there’s a whole in the blanket, that’s ok. Just be watchful that she doesn’t do this all the time…?
