Toys :)

Looking for ideas on toys for a rabbit to play with, both long lasting things (like plastic toys) as well as home made things they could chew and shred.

Do rabbits like cat tunnels? I have one for my ferrets and it is a huge hit, thought maybe I could get another for my future bunnies

Pippi loves shredding her phone book. ^_^ she has a tunnel she runs through on occasion but I don't know that it was worth the $16 I paid for it, when oatmeal containers work just as well (she's a 4 pound Holland Lop ^_^)

All three of the buns LOVE cardboard boxes, with holes cut in the sides to run in and out. Pippi likes jumping on top of them, while Butterscotch and Ellie prefer hiding in them.

Baby rattles.
I have a healthy stock of all plastic baby rattles that are light. I buy them for my parrot but the buns like tossing them around.


Tp tubes with hay.
Cardboard egg cartons.
Cardboard boxes.
Cat wiffle balls with bells.
A single baby link with beads.
Bamboo finger teaser.
Natural straw hat.
Nut knot nibbler (petsmart sells them)

I fill TP tubes with hay and a few small treats and fold the ends down. They have to figure out how to open them before getting the treats! We also have like 10 different puzzle toys for Whiskey, as he's too smart for us. Some of those I made from untreated wood at a craft store. Some were given to me. Another good one is tissue boxes with the plastic thing torn out. Mine like to drop those form high places.

Ooh, another thing I did before was take an empty trash bags box, and put hay inside with a couple raisins and pellets. Pippi had to nudge the flap of the box to get her head in, and then dig through the hay to find the treats. Then she'd eat the hay. She enjoyed chewing the box afterwards.

We also got a dog toy that we put pellets in for her to find. She has to nudge the sliding doors in order to get it. She looooves it!

All great ideas, thanks heaps

Honestly I get most of my bunny's toys from the store. She has this big colorful wooden ball she likes playing fetch with, I buy her wood chews that are attached to her cage by plastic holding things. And she has a wooden bendy thing she likes chewing on too. Sometimes when she's out running around I give her a cardboard box to chew on and run in. They love chewing so almost anything is good lol

In response to the original post- my rabbits love my cat's tunnel. I forgot to mention that earlier.

Just created a new toy for my bun. A washed off coke bottle with the paper removed and a couple coins inside that twang around when she plays with it. Still likes her colorful ball the best but she likes this too!

I took out the coins and put in a couple pieces of plastic thing so it still rattles. My boyfriend was concerned if she rips open the bottle and eats the coins that she could die and I don't want that happening. The coins were just so it rattles and I've replaced that so it still does but now no risk

If she rips open the bottle to eat coins then shes likely to eat the bottle too and thats just as bad as eating coins.

But she constantly eats her litter box and hut and other plastic things? She just tosses the bottle around. Because it has air in it its hard for her to chew. I was just worried about the small possibility
