Discouragement
Bitter sprays
Bitter spray pet deterant
There are many types of bitter sprays you can buy at pet stores or on-line that can act as a deterrent to prevent chewing or digging in directed areas of your home. That said it is always surprising what bunnies are prepared to try after which it is to late as the damage is done so they should in no way be considered 100 % effective. The can however help limit the damage as long as alternative are provided and the sprays is refreshed regularly. A good tip to apply the mixture more precisely is to first spray it on to a cloth and then wipe it onto the areas you want protected. Aftershave and perfume should be avoided as these can be poisons.
Water sprays
Water mister
Water mister such as the type commonly found in gardening centres can make an excellent device for deterring your bunny from inappropriate behaviour. It is possibly the most effective form of deterrent because It delivers the warning directly at the moment its needed without the need for physical intervention which can cause harm. It also conveniently removes you a degree from the process of aversion which can avoid the development of anti social behaviour towards you although is best reinforced with the use of a voice command such as there name followed by a firm "NO". Do not set the mister so that is squirts water as this is not in fact as effective and also could easily cause harm.
