The owner can prevent cage chewing in these ways. First, rabbits often chew from boredom or the need to grind teeth, so provide enough toys and chew items like apple branches, hay, and mineral stones to meet the need and reduce chewing. Second, give plenty of food and water and keep the environment clean and dry so the rabbit feels safe and less anxious. Also, if it keeps chewing one cage material, switch to plastic or metal. Finally, spray a bitter agent like bitter melon or lemon juice on the cage; rabbits usually dislike the taste and stop chewing.
