Serious Rabbit help

[carataco1]

My rabbit lived with me in my two bedroom apartment. It was just the two of us. She and I were best friends! Only she had a serious problem where she would chew on my wires and pee on my bed. I tried everything and couldnt break her of the habbit. So I bought a huge cage and keep her in there at night but she plays in the living room most of the day. Only now she hates me. She bites, she squeels and she makes it impossible for me to catch her. How do i fix this??She hates me now

You have to understand the rabbit. In my opinion, she was taken away from freedom in her eyes. She is now being in a cage and she doesnt know why. Somehow you have to try and make her cage a place where she doesnt feel like shes being punished, try and make it a happy place. Treats would help in this situation. Only use them for in the cage time. She doesnt want you to catch her because she thinks she will be put back in the cage. Shes alot smarter than you think. With time and patience she will turn around.

she needs things to chew - healthy things. I know you feel bad, but it is for her safety. Can you take the plugs out when you bring her out and let her run for a bit? It would be so awsome if you could make her a little run..... I had a rabbit when I was a kid, I loved him. I named him Petie

How old is your rabbit and has she been spayed? If not spaying will help. Otherwise you do just need to give her fun things in her cage and tha should help. My bunny used to love simple things such as toilet paper tubes, she loved to toss them and roll them, put some in her cage and she'll be happy. Also little balls she can roll, wood to chew on, and timothy hay (hay is good for her and fun to play with, it should be fed if you don't feed it already). Also when you get ready to put her out of her cage, you can put a harness on her while she runs and it should make her easier to catch. I don't think she hates you she just loves to run and does everything to keep you from getting her. You might be able to use a carrot or hay to lure her into the cage. When you go to catch her sit on the floor, even lay down for a minute and she if she will come up to you and if she does pet her for awhile then pick her up. If she doesn't come up to you try kind of scooting over to where she is, if you aren't standing over her it should be easier to catch her. Pet the top of her head and over her ears, hold under her chest and back end and cuddle her close.

Hold her for awhile before you put her in the cage and once you put her in the cage give her something like a carrot or green veggies. Another way to catch her is throw a towel or blanket over her and scoop her up. I love rabbits, I understand how heartbreaking it can be if your bunny doesn't seem to like you. I do think your bunny still loves you, she is just throwing a tantrum when when she has to go back. I hope I've helped you, if you have more questions just ask.
