The reason for gnawing and chew can be manifold. Bunnies need to have food going through their digestive track continuously and in addition to their food they also need small amounts of non-digestible fiber to help push things through. Because their teeth grow throughout their entire lives, their front teeth growing anything up to five inches a year, they need to keep constantly chewing to ware them down. As they are the prey of many creatures they strive to maintain clear paths by chewing through obstacles to access areas of there environment discreetly and to use if they need to run to safety.
