hi, do not worry, it is bunny's nature to chew......they love to chew, in fact...they chew everything, however, u need to make sure that those staff that they chew is not poison or anything that can harm them.... bunny do not like to be cuddle, they are born as pray, therefore, they are very sensitive and react aggressively when being pick up or cuddle.....too bad, they r not like cat and dog.....but, u can try to slowly and gently scrub their forehead, bunny generally like it.....if they still do not like it, just leave them alone as they get stress up very easily........it take times to build up the relationship with bunny.....u need to let them know that u mean no harm......show them yr love by slowly touch them, offer things that they love to eat, ie pallet, carrot, vegie, apple, pineapple juice...i am sure that they will come to u and as time goes by, they will be no more afraid of u....... :D

by the way, is yr bunny poo poo in watery form? smelly (u can notice its tail is wet .........) ? if it is not, u don't have to worry, if it is, u should bring yr bunny to the vet ASAP, yr bunny might be having diaerra which can caused bunny to be dehydrate and yr bunny life could be in danger.....a healthy bunny poo poo should be big, round, dark and not smelly........ :wink:
