    Do you let the rabbit run. He could want to run around. Getting him a play mate will def make him stop bec it would give him someone to play with. If you put a blanket over the cage or put him somewhere he cant see you he might give up. My rabbits when im down stairs at night are very loud bc when im down there durring the day they know I would take them out and they want out. So seperating you from your rabbit at night would give you and your rabbit some peace and quite.

    i know how you feel . My bunny is always noisy during the night and wakes me up way to early. what i did was put lots of chew toys in her cage. also i made sure she had some ouside of the cage free time. when bunnys are loud like that they usually want your attention or need something. so make sure the rabbithas enough water and hay in its cage. If that doesnt work try moving the cage into another room. good luck

    first of all...why do you have rabbits in the rodents category? Rabbits are NOT Rodents they are Leporidae! ANYWAY...her nails might be too long. If the nails are too long, trim them or have a vet do it for you. If you'd like to get her a bigger cage that's OK too. My rabbits used to dig during certain seasons (especially fall/spring) it's instinctual for them. Maybe you could try giving her some outside time where she can actually dig. My rabbits used to have the run of the yard. She's chewing on the bars because she doesn't like where you put her. I remember we used to put our rabbits in the shed during the winter in large pens and they used to gnaw at the bars day in and out! They didn't like being indoors. During the summer nights they were kept in hutches and never chewed on the bars. I've never heard of them needing chew toys, possibly because mine were able to chew on sticks if they wanted.

    I just put my rabbit in another room over night - he was noisy from the day I got him, and he still is now.

    Make sure he's had about 4 hours out of his cage running around before you go to bed. That should quiet him down. Also, how big is his cage? If less than 2 feet by 4 feet, get a bigger one. Then, give him toys and things to chew to occupy him quietly. Good luck

    personal experience? exercise him right before you go to bed, let him run around for an hour or two, give him something yummy to chew on when you go to sleep, or move him to another room. if you have had him for a year he may have outgrown his cage, maybe he needs a new one that is larger

    A uh....."rabbit"....

    Never woulda thought...a rabbit could be that noisy.

    I heard they make some f*ed up noise when they're about to die or being killed...anyhoo...

    Earplugs or move it into a basement, or a different room..preferably far away regardless.
