ABSTRACT
The destructive behaviour is quite normal in an animal that grazes to obtain his food. The owners should be advised to rethink the rabbit’s diet to ensure that he is spending more time obtaining food than at present. The emphasis should be on good quality hay making up the bulk of the diet and being used in foraging exercises. The owners can be encouraged to fill toys with hay or to introduce a hayrack. In addition, a small amount of green vegetables and extruded pellet can be fed to the rabbit.
