Why is my rabbit biting her cage? Is it teeth, boredom, or stress?

Question

Hello, my rabbit has been biting her cage for the past few days. She has plenty food, hay and water. I don't know what's wrong with her. Is she upset about something? What could be causing her to do this? I've tried the vinegar trick, the perfume trick and even blasting her with a cold spray of water when she bites but nothing seems to work she always goes back within a few minutes.

If she will allow, check her teeth for overgrowth or malocclusion. You may need to have her examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating rabbits if she won't let you. The vet can also check the back teeth to see if they need grinding. Sometimes, they can wear unevenly causing uncomfortable points. She may also be bored or stressed. Provide ample playtime outside of the cage and provide a variety of toys to keep her engaged while in the cage.
