If you own a pet rabbit, you probably know by now that leaving a house rabbit unattended is not a good idea at all. The cute little creature can easily get into a whole lot of trouble if left by himself in the house.Things that sometimes we do not think about can be harmful for the rabbit or destructive for our home.
Eating your house plants You would be surprised how high a rabbit can jump to reach someting attractive.A pet rabbit can jump into your house plants and eat them when you are not there to watch him.Almost half of the plants we keep in our homes can be toxic for rabbits.Since they chew on just about anything,this is to be avoided.
Chewing on walls and furniture Even if your rabbit always act like a little angel when you are there, he could become extremely bored by himself, just like a dog. You can come back home and see baseboards, furniture legs and other items such as electric cords chewed on.Leaving a house rabbit unattended can be dangerous if electric cords are within the animal reach.
Getting him use to go back to his pen This will save you from all kind of bad surprises.Rabbits are highly intelligent animals and if you let them alone with the whole house to themselves, they will hide from you every time you try to get them to that place where they should be, in perticular if that place is their cage.Rather than leaving them in a cage all day, put them in one room that is rabbit proofed like the kitchen, for instance.
I left the house one time to go to the store real quick and I let the rabbit in the house, I figure I was only be gone a little while.She was sleeping under the couch. When I came back she had jumped on the bookshelf and started to eat a book cover.Good thing I was only gone for fifteen minutes!
