Chapter 2: Litterbox Avoidance
Litterbox training is essential for maintaining a clean and healthy environment for your rabbit. However, sometimes rabbits may choose to ignore the designated litterbox, leaving droppings elsewhere. This chapter explores the reasons behind litterbox avoidance, including health issues, litterbox preferences, and stress, and offers effective solutions to restore proper toileting habits.
Chapter 3: Destructive Chewing
Bunnies have a natural instinct to chew, but excessive or inappropriate chewing can cause damage to furniture, walls, and other belongings. Tamsin Stone explains why rabbits chew, including boredom, anxiety, and nutritional deficiencies, and suggests positive alternative chewing outlets and environmental enrichment strategies.
Chapter 4: Digging and Scratching
Rabbits love to dig and scratch, but their excavations can be unsightly and even destructive. This chapter discusses the motivations behind digging and scratching, such as boredom, nesting instincts, and temperature regulation, and offers practical tips for redirecting these behaviours to appropriate areas.
Chapter 5: Binkying and Zoomies
While binkying and zoomies are natural and healthy behaviours for rabbits, their exuberant displays can be surprising or even alarming to some owners. Tamsin Stone explains what triggers these behaviours, how to differentiate between play and fear, and strategies for providing a safe and enriching environment for your rabbit's energetic bursts.
Chapter 6: Coprophagy
Coprophagy, or eating one's own droppings, is a normal behaviour in rabbits that aids in nutrient absorption. However, excessive coprophagy can indicate health problems or nutritional deficiencies. This chapter discusses the causes of coprophagy and provides guidance on when to consult a veterinarian and how to manage excessive droppings consumption.
Chapter 7: Fear and Anxiety
Rabbits are naturally prey animals and can easily become fearful or anxious. This chapter explores the signs of fear and anxiety in rabbits, such as hiding, trembling, or lunging, and outlines methods for reducing stress, providing a secure environment, and building trust with your rabbit.
Chapter 8: Stereotypies
Stereotypies are repetitive, abnormal behaviours that can indicate boredom, frustration, or stress in rabbits. This chapter explains the causes of stereotypies, such as lack of exercise, improper diet, or poor environment, and provides strategies for enriching your rabbit's life and reducing these repetitive behaviours.
Chapter 9: Health-Related Behaviour Problems
Some behavioural problems in rabbits can be attributed to underlying health conditions. This chapter discusses common health issues that can affect behaviour, such as dental problems, digestive disFree Downloads, and urinary tract infections, and emphasizes the importance of consulting a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Chapter 10: Training and Behaviour Modification
The final chapter focuses on training and behaviour modification techniques for rabbits. Tamsin Stone provides step-by-step instructions on how to train your rabbit basic commands, such as sit, stay, and come, and outlines effective methods for modifying and redirecting unwanted behaviours through positive reinforcement and clicker training.
