I was curious if anyone made their own toys for rabbits to help naturally grind down their teeth?

Chew toys don't do much for grinding their teeth down. It is the eating of hay which does that. Eating hay (or grass) is the only thing that causes them to move their jaw in a figure 8 motion for grinding. Hay (grass) has silica which acts like sandpaper. That's what grinds down their teeth.
Some rabbits love to have toys to toss and chew. Some ignore toys.
Safe tree branches are an easy way to provide free toy/chewing fun.

Thank you for the response. She eats lots of hay, so I am happy to hear that is what helps grind the teeth.sunflowerdbb123

My bunny Lola loves to chew on twigs, mainly dried out twigs from Apple or willow trees, if you have an Apple tree or you know someone that has a tree in their garden you can get them for free too, If not you could ask a local orchard or last result order them from an on line site like eBay. They twigs are great for their teeth and it keeps them busy.
Thank you.
