Why is my rabbit chewing through his mesh playpen and travel bag?

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered

Hi, because we have two houses and I bring blackberry with us at the weekends I have a travel back with a bit of mesh and a pop up play pen with a bit of mesh and lately he's been chewing through the mesh and making holes. I was just wondering if there was a reason that linked to his health?

No health reasons typically associated with this behavior. Often times they start chewing things because they figured out they can and because they get bored. You may have to change to a plastic play pen that is stronger and make sure he has toys that you rotate frequently to keep him entertained
