Short answer, boredom. Or your rabbit may be seeking a favorite grain if you feed a grain in addition to a rabbit pellet. Solution get a feeder that hangs from/through your rabbit's cage (they have a wire bottom which allows dust to filter off the feed) and hang about 6 inches up from the floor. This may not be a total solution but will help considerably.

Can you wash rabbit fur?

No, you can't give your rabbit a bath in the bathtub.Anyway, it's a very bad idea. Here's why:It's not usually a good idea to bathe a rabbit at all.Rabbits are clean animals and they wash themselves. Baths can be very traumatic for rabbits, and for other reasons the rabbit can become ill from a bath. So, it's best not to bathe your rabbit at all. If the rabbit is dirty, then you should give it a bath -- but you should also find out why it's dirty and treat the cause! Unless you're absolutely positive your rabbit is healthy (for example, maybe it just jumped into a mud puddle before you could stop it), then you should bring the rabbit to a special vet who has experience and knowledge with rabbits.If you do need to give your rabbit a bath, you should not do it in the bathtub.One reason why not: the floor is so slippery, the rabbit will become anxious, try to get out, slip and panic, and a panicking rabbit can easily injure itself.Another reason: leaning over the edge makes it difficult for you to handle the rabbit safely and securely.A third reason: A bathtub is big, and big spaces make rabbits anxious; it's better to keep the rabbit more enclosed (anxiety can make the rabbit panic and injure itself, also it makes it more of a traumatic experience for the rabbit).A fourth reason: the water pouring from the tap may not be temperature you expect (especially in older buildings), and you could accidentally burn or chill the rabbit.A fifth reason: the water pouring from the tap is loud and splashy and can stress the rabbit out (leading to panic and anxiety).For all these reasons, it's best not to use the bathtub; instead, use a baby bath, or a foot bath, or some other small and shallow container; and fill a jug with water to use for pouring and rinsing.If you have to bathe a rabbit, you should follow specific instructions so that you keep the rabbit safe. See the related question below for more details.

Can rabbits eat feijoas?

The feijoa (Acca sellowiana) is also known as the pineapple guava and guavasteen. Rabbits can eat feijoa skin and fruit but only as a treat. Too many treats will make your rabbit sick. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of treat food per day for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit. A healthy rabbit diet consists of lots and lots of hay, fresh dark-coloured leafy greens, and rabbit pellets. Feijoa leaves and twigs are much better for the rabbit than the fruit or fruit skins. Whenever you feed your rabbit something new, start with very small portions and watch the rabbit's health and behaviour for the next little while (see the related question below for info). Just because something is generally safe for rabbits, doesn't mean it's good for your rabbit. (Rabbits, just like humans, can have food allergies and sensitivities. It is not recommended to give rabbits feijoa or any fruit skins to eat. Non-edible fruit and vegetable skins are usually covered in toxins (insecticides, etc), so if you're going to give them to an animal to eat, you should either wash them in food soap (this is NOT the same as dish soap or any other soap), or buy organic, or grow the fruit yourself and don't use any toxins on them.
