Chewing, Playing, and Digging
You should give your rabbits things to chew such as their own bit of carpet; aspen, willow, or apple branches; pine firewood; untreated, fresh pine lumber; a basket with hay in it; and compressed alfalfa cubes. Some woods are toxic. These are fruit tree branches such as apricot and peach. These are toxic while attached to the tree but not after they are cut off and dried. They must be dried for a month or more. Keep your purchases of imported baskets limited to willow, as it is the only basket material that is not sprayed with pesticides. If your rabbit swallows carpet, follow it up with a petroleum laxative such as Petromalt or Laxatone. These are sold at pet supply stores such as PETsMART.
