I was reading online about taking a cardboard box and making a "house", and I am trying to find "activities" and "toys" for Benny. I just got my first rabbit a couple days ago.
So after recently buying a microwave, I took the cardboard box and made two doors, one on each end, and 6 little windows. I put some timothy hay inside, and was quite proud of myself.
I showed Benny to the box (he has an entire room to himself, he is allowed hopping all over the apartment, but he usually sticks to the room his cage is in.
So I'm out in another room on a couch and hear a nibbling and he was chewing the cardboard box...
I am wondering is this ok??? Websites were suggesting cardboard?
And there were a lot of "small animal toys" and things for chewing at the pet store. I am wondering what is ok, and what's not.
We did buy a "large" nest of straw and he chews it, and he'll get in it and go through like a tunnel if I hold it steady (we didn't realize how small it was).
