My bunny finally stopped digging in the carpet, but now hes started digging on people! If he's in your lap, he'll started digging at your jeans. If you're holding him, he'll start digging at your shirt... how can I stop this behavior???

He also as a pooping problem. He is litterbox trained (most of the time). However, while running around the house, sometimes he'll jump on the couch. This is the only other place in the house (besides his box) that he'll poop. And then he runs away like he knows he wasn't supposed to do that, but he still does it every time! Any suggestions? I want him to be able to run around, but my couch is black and i dont want to accedently sit on a pellet!
my rabbit will try and dig when he is at my feet. he will dig my shoes and try and pull my trousers. I was told he does this if he is not happy with me for some reason or because he wants attention!
I don't know much about the digging. My bun does that sometimes to, but he doesn't hurt or cause any damage when he does it, and usually if I pet him and cuddle him he'll quit lol

As for the pooping, how many litter boxes do you use? You might want to try getting another one to use near the couch. Put some of the soiled litter from the other one in it so he'll know what you want him to do there. Maybe if given a nearby option, he won't use your couch.
Rabbits love digging. Try giving them a phone book, they will dig in it, shred it, and chew it.
KEEKERS is wrong, eating paper is VERY fatal to rabbits. Buy him a miniature sandbox or dirtbox from your local pet store or super market. He will dig there and not on you.
