Bitter Apple Spray
A bitter-tasting spray made for dogs that rabbit owners widely use to protect furniture, skirting boards, and cables from gnawing. Spray the item, not the rabbit, and patch-test first since fading finishes can be sensitive to it.

Our take
Grannick's makes this for dogs, but it is one of the most commonly recommended ways rabbit owners protect furniture legs, skirting boards, and cables from gnawing, since the bitter taste puts most rabbits off after a try or two. Spray the object the rabbit is going for, never the rabbit itself, and test an unseen patch first on finished wood or fabric since the alcohol base can mark some finishes. It fades with cleaning and time, so reapply on a schedule rather than once and forgetting it.
