My girlfriend, roommate, and I all pooled some money together to get a nice little bunny over the summer. I named him Kerrigan, thinking it was a girl. When it turned out to enjoy humping legs, we discovered its penis so its a guy bunny named Kerrigan.
Anyway, the bunny is sort of a bitch. It chews on everything possible (wires, notes, couches) and it has destroyed a good number of earphones or random wires laying around, along with a newly discovered hole in the couch.
I live in a small apartment so we try to keep it confined to one room but it still gets around the place from time to time.
It also poops everywhere and is addicted to humping.
Any bunny owners have any advice on preventing this terror from chewing everything in sight?
Here's a picture of him and his favorite sex toy

EDIT: In response to more pictures, my girlfriend keeps a good archive on her blog which I will post/shamlessly plug

It's doing exactly what you think it's doing.

Was gonna say keep him in a cage or something, but that thing is huge.

Our bunny is a dwarf. Bunnies get pretty big but ours is relatively small. The pic probably just makes him look bigger.

Keeping it in your bathroom sometimes helps, but then again, they would chew the bits of the door, etc. They shit literally like 50 times a day.. so you can't really help that. At least it's easier to clean.. I'd recommend keep the bunny in a cage, in a bathroom.

Cute 
Buy him a bunny cage and keep him in there, about the humping though; put the socks on another pair of socks and the bunny might think the socks are cheating on him 
|
Pretty much gotta keep it outside or in a cage. They're not friendly to the indoors.
Dunno how keeping it in the tub would fare.

^^ The bunny would just chew its way out of the box.

I had a bunny for nine years, my advice is not to keep it locked up in a cage all the time. It might be convenient or w.e but don't be an asshole like that. Let it hop around and hump shit, who cares. It's an animal, you should have known what to expect when you decided too get it.
Buy a book on rabbits as pets, search internet forums.
edit: let it hop around but keep it confined to certain rooms

Surround it with a moat filled with alligators then. But I'm tired and I don't think my ms paint skills would allow that.

its okay coz kerrigan is a surname, not a boy or girl's name

well, bunnys love humping shit, get him neutered maybe? guess it costs money, you could try the good old kick in the balls approach. get all the cables and wires and shit away from him, he won't be able to stop himself the instinct is too strong. Try giving him something important to do, like challenge him a little with his food, dno how it works for bunnies but i read it's really important for inside cats to get them stimulated ^_^
Oh! and i almost forgot, give him lots of things he likes to chew on. Bunny chewtoys work i guess and i know they love that material paper boxes are made of (some kind of paper obviously, don't know name in english)
edit: oh the guy below said these important things!
|
Have his balls cut off. Give him paper or cardboard to chew on. Encourage him to chew it by bugging him with it. Try to train him to a litter box. The longer you wait, the harder it will be. I like rabbits. Mine lived for over 10 years. The only thing my bunny chewed that we didnt want it to was wires, and it shocked itself and fried its whiskers twice. He seemed to learn his lesson after the second time.
|
All we have to do is train Kerrigan to use his humping abilities for good -- turn him into the next G-Ma$ta.
|
get him some chew toys? or chew food like carrots i dunno do real rabbits eat carrots? bugs bunny eats it all the time. yeah just let it hop around, dont take away his freedom.
|
Bunny prefers to chew on things that can kill him, like power cords plugged into sockets.

My bunny is a chewing machine. We let it chew on toys, hay, treats, but it still likes chewing everything in existence. its mostly papers (luckily scrap laying around) but the couches are a big problem.
We do let him hop around so he's not in the cage 24/7
Also thanks for all the advice!

Many believe bunnies should be kept in a cage. Do it.
|
There is no way a bunny can understand he has to poop in a specific place, as a cat would. So if you dont want it to poop everywhere, put it in a cage.

wikipedia disagrees.

Upon reading, I found the solution on wiki!!
This problem [of chewing] is mitigated by providing something in the room that will attract the rabbit to chew instead, such as an old phone book, large pieces of scrap paper, or a toilet paper roll.
