This is very normal rabbit behavior. I suggest you try to give her plenty of things that she is allowed to chew on like woven hay structures, wood blocks, etc. This website has a lot of options: https://barksandbunnies.co.uk/ As for the places she has already chewed, you can try to spray Bitter Apple on those areas. Sometimes it deters them, sometimes not. Rabbits really are meant to be outdoors. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=c%26g+no+chew&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
