So...since Sally is my first inside rabbit...my hubby doesn’t want me going overboard buying things in case she doesn’t work out..party pooper...I know it’ll be gtreat. Anyway..to satisfy all of us..do you guys have ideas for little toys around the house I can give her,..like my dog loves to play with toiletpaper rolls....the other likes empty water bottles...stuff like that....like how about a ping pong ball, or is that dangerous...I know they love to chew cardboard..can I give her the toiletpaper roll? I just don’t want her bored until I can’t buy her real stuff....and she is still in our barn which is attached to the house, so she’s one room away...excited!!A5C6431B-51B3-4E4D-A478-0DAE02F861C5.jpegAAF352E8-ECD2-4094-B495-48C21D4FCCA5.jpegher first pictures..not great but we were rushed, I’m sure we’ll get more tomorrow
 
I always have a tree branch under the kitchen table, willow, fruit trees,forsithia, ash, beech, hornbeam - whatever. Keeps them occupied and from mischief for quite some time, and it's a healthy snack.
They leave quite a mess, but that's worth it :)
 
Oh yeah, I’m forever cutting branches off our apple trees for our rabbits..should’ve thought of that...
 
Anything for them to explore...
...whatever can make hidey areas or perch areas.
...things to destroy, like old phone books.

I wouldn't go out and buy any "rabbit" toys, I did this and wasted a lot of money as my rabbits would rather play with TP rolls. The only one I would recommend buying is the hay ball from rural king, this is my rabbits only store-bought toy they will play with.

I did the hay in the toilet paper roll..she went nuts..now if I only had enough for my other 31 bunnies..lol
 
Here's my Mocha playing with a plastic cat ball. He doesn't play with it very often though. The other rabbit would totally ignore it.
What are those bowls attached to the cage called and can you leave a link? I'm looking for something that will make it harder for them to throw their treat balls in because mushy pellets are the worse.
 
I like the stick on bowls and my favorite ones just went on sale at Amazon, the 6 ounce one I use for pellets and the 20 ounce one for water. Noticed they were on sale, so just stocked up on them myself.

25B09724-BA20-441C-9319-0DEC03FAD7A6.jpeg I used some jute twine and clothespins to give fresh veggie treats- great exercise! I hang it a little higher so she has to get up on her hind legs. I also use this dog treat ball to give her pellets. She has to push it around to get the pellets to fall out. Keeps her entertained and she has to problem solve!
