Could a rabbit chew through the product? Our blueberry bushes are adjacent to a deck.Bunnies live under the deck-chew holes through regular netting .

I guess it is possible ... just plastic netting .. but we have cottontails running all over and they do not chew through it ...

They are much thicker than regular netting and holes smaller. I have had no problems.

I have bunnies around my garden but put up a wire rabbit fence and then draped the Dewitt net across the garden and surrounding fence. They have not chewed the net or tried. But with the fence in addition to the net, it's not exactly the same scenario.

No, I do not think so. This is a very light mess netting. In our experience, they could chew right through it. We use fine mess metal fencing to thwart these critters.

I assume that your quest pertains to having it outside. If that is the case mine has held up very well for the last several months outside in South Carolina. If the rain gets to bad the bunnies just go inside the enclosed portion. Hope that helps.

Yes. My rabbit is chewing the wood. Not enough to destroy it, but she has widdled down the divider quite a bit.

It can, but my only concern would be in the nest box area. Mine had a particle board bottom and I think that might rot out if it gets too wet. Not sure how rabbits defecate (just pellet poop or with urine), but I'd either line and seal it or use a lot of bedding.

They eat this mat. It's just made of straw out hay. I have a rabbit house wooden. I doubt believe they need to protect their feet. Mine she's fine on the wire bottom part. He sleeps on the wood side . 5 yrs now and he's fine.

Very small rabbits maybe. The "mouth hole" is the perfect size for my ferret (if not a little snug), so if any bigger than one then no.

definately your dog could, my small 16 year old 20lbs dog could go through it. The block keeps the deer out though, just the feel of it spokes them. They can not see the netting as they try to eat the plants and just move away. My netting has kept my garden deer proof 3 months now. I was ready to give up before I used deer block. You could add a small metal fence along the bottom to keep the dog out. Next year I am going to do that, to keep rabbits from chewing through the bottom of the netting.

I am sorry we just got a new one a couple weeks ago, I no longer have the base, our rabbit dug so much she put a hole in it. it was fairly deep, however she still threw bedding on the floor so we ran the stuff you put over eve troughs to keep the leaves out around the upper part of the base to stop the bedding.

I used it for my cats but I would think that rabbits could chew through it if there was something on the other side that they really wanted to eat. It is heavy plastic-type material. I would use metal wire instead like hardware cloth.

If you suspend the net above blueberry plants, deer will not chew through it. The netting is strong enough to deter them. That's the ideal way; create a framework on which to hang and suspend the netting above and around the bushes. If you throw the netting directly over the bushes, you will probably have some animal damage to the plants -- birds who will pick through the netting for available berries and deer who will browse through the netting also. So if you are going to buy netting, spend some money and effort to construct a framework for the netting. An overhead wire a couple of feet above the plants extending down the row works as a support for a canopy-like net drape. If you suspend the net above blueberry plants, deer will not chew through it.

Yes, squirrels will chew up the bottom holes. I used a mayonnaise jar cut in half to cover the top half of the globe.Unfortunately it makes refilling more difficult but the birds are happy and the squirrels aren't.

We use this for when the bunnies come in for a visit from their outdoor hutch. It is very durable and the bunnies have not chewed on the edges. We are very happy with the quality of the construction. I wouldn't see any problems using it with a chinchilla.

Yes, my rabbits were free roaming during the day, and stayed in the hutch at night. You could have several if they are smaller breeds. I had litters of babies in there as well, with plenty of room.

Not really. If they are going to do it your not going to be able to stop it. I did have to buy a second one and my bunny hasn't chewed this one but I put it on against the directions.I pu it on the outside with the bars inside that seems to have curbed the chewing.

I have had 2 different rabbits in mine and they have not chewed on it at all. I assume that if they started to, then you could provide more entertainment for them like toys various treats etc. I use mine especially when they are going to have babies. Works wonderful, hoping to get another.

Hey Stacy,.. I am not too sure,as I have a family of 5 bunnies that reside in an extra large dog cage, so they have the bottom of that to protect their feet. I did purchase one of the Peter mats but my rabbits had it totally torn apart after a few days. They also were spoiled using it, as they got a bit lazy and urinated on it etc. But regardless, It is worth trying out for the price! Just try n make sure u get something that is ok for them to ingest, as having a new item in their area may cause them to nip at it etc. Unless u get another new chew toy in there at the same time,.. it may help distract him or her from the new 'carpet". Sorry I couldn't be of more help!!! Best of Luck, Kristi Hey Stacy,..
