  Hello everyone,
  Zeus has a little problem with chewing the carpet. He has also chewed and ingested a small amount of plastic (corrugated plastic from his c&c). He still has regular bowel movements (thank goodness!!). He is about to be 4 months, i am going to see a vet and hopefully get him neutered within a month if my vet thinks he is ready. I am sure his chewing habits wont go away after the neuter.
  
  I was wondering what kind of chew toys everyone gets for their buns?
  I have tried a stuffed animal under supervision, he ignores it. Ive also tried a log called the “bunny blaster”, toilet paper rolls (also tried making it into a ball), he rarely chews the cardboard boxes.
  I dont know what other chew toys i can try giving him to keep him from chewing the carpet.

  My rabbits really like the toys made of cardboard and rope
  
  The the loofah chews you can find pet stores my bunnies like
  
  And the hanging wood toys where you can hang them up on a small rope to the top of their pen so it swings around when they try chewing it, my girl Acrylic especially likes to chew those ones
  
  And those weaved hay toys too like the hay matts or they hay houses my buns really like
  
  If you get the wood of loofah try getting un coloured ones cause the dyes can be bad for rabbits!

  My rabbit really likes chewing on toys made out of willow, or apple sticks. Those woven willow balls are a favorite!
  
  As for carpet, my rabbit thinks bitter apple spray is a tasty snack I know some are put off by it though. I had more luck putting ceramic tiles down in favorite digging spots.
