Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it?

Everyone laughed at me when I named my cute little rabbit Grendal, but if only the knew how close to the truth that would turn out to be.
Granted she is a sweetheart, very docile and shy, but she is also a bit like the Tasmanian Devil. She will try to eat and chew through anything and everything. She has been through 2 or 3 water bottles because she would chew on the sides of them and puncture them, until I had to try and find a different type of bottle to use for her that she would not be able to get at to chew on, and so instead she started chewing on the plastic around the nozzle of the water bottle. Also in the summer when it gets particularly hot I will put in frozen water bottle with the rabbits to help cool them off, and she punctured a hole in one of those bottles.
I decided to try and get her some sort of rabbit chew toy, as they make all sorts of different all natural things that rabbits can munch away on, and I finally decided on this bundle of willow sticks that I thought looked pretty cool, as well as hopefully long lasting, and the bundle of sticks were hold together by branch that was woven around either end.
So the first thing she does, on the day that I give them to her is eat the bindings so now there are just loose sticks scattered throughout her pen,but she seems to be enjoying them and hopefully they will last her for at least a month (I know that is wishful thinking) at least more than a few weeks.
Though it is yet to be seen if it will distract her away from trying to chew on everything else.
