How do I stop my rabbit digging at the carpet whenever the dishwasher starts?

Our answer

The dishwasher's vibrations can prompt digging as a stress response; add an authorised digging box and separate rabbit from the appliance during cycles.

Why this approach makes sense

Animal behaviour depends on the individual pet and the situation; choose a gradual, comfortable approach.

Before you try it

Avoid forcing behaviour or using equipment that is the wrong size for the animal.
