How to stop Pea eating his hutch wall

[slackalice2k]

Hi,

I need an ingenious solution to stop Peanut eating his hutch wall, he's got a scratch down his nose from it now, I kept putting a pigloo in front, but he just butts that out of the way.

They have gnaw sticks but don't touch them, is there anyway I could attach a hay rack up to a wooden hutch wall? I was thinking that I might cover it up with something but he'd probably chew the covering.

Hmm maybe a hay rack would hang from a couple of the little screw in hooks, like the type for hanging net curtains but bigger. I'll have to go look in the hardware store.

All that bother's me is that if he wants to chew it he will find a way. He's destroyed 2 water bottles and is now intent on destroying his house. He's like an unruly teenager.

To be honest mine have chewed their hutches inside, some more than others and some of the doors look horrrible now, but I haven't done anything about it. They will chew one day and then not for weeks, so I tend not to worry about it.

thank you for the reply,

it's more because he's scratching his nose when he's doing it that I'm bothered, he's got a mark right down the middle of his nose, but then I suppose if he hurts himself he won't be doing it again for a while.
