Rabbits loooovve to play. They love to throw things around, which those of you who use light bowls would have noticed. It is very important for your rabbit's health and wellbeing that s/he has some toys available at all times and that these toys are changed regularly to prevent boredom. Rabbits love things like: -Wooden bird toys -Jingle balls (cat balls with bells in them, ensure the holes in the balls are large enough for a rabbit to grab onto) -Toilet paper rolls -Newspaper -Old Phonebooks -Treat balls (the ones you stuff with treats and they roll around and the treats fall out.....I just use pellets in mine) -Frisbes (the cheap plastic kind) -Milk cartons (the cardboard ones) [fill with treats and seal up for extra fun] -Baby rings -Cat Tunnels ($10 from the reject shop, don't get the expensive pet shop ones) Basically you just need to use your imagination when thinking about toys for your rabbits  If anyone else has toy ideas, please post them here ;D |

When I had bunnies, mine would go crazy for the cat jingle balls! Also, I gave mine old phonebooks, but inside several of the pages I'd hide treats |

Your bunnies will have fun trying to figure out which pages the treats are on!  I used to watch mine trying to find the treats, they'd be at it for hours! They'd destroy the book then get to the treats  |

EGGCARTONS!!
preferably ones that do not have holes.
Just put in a handful of pellets or treats in there and close it. or you can tape it with non toxic masking tape or some sort of non-toxic tape.
Ta da! a new toy!
... just watch 'em play! it'll keep them occupied for a while.

My Winnie loves her sea-grass mat, and her paper bag. She also has a cat tent and she likes to jump on top of it and slowly sink in when the roof caves |

Winnie does binkys in her room, she runs thru the tunnel and leaps over the fk bars at the bottom, she loves to play. I have a friend who has rabbits and there in terrible conditions. It always bothered me but seeing Winnie and how happy she is with her lot, I feel really sorry for the rabbits stuck in a tiny cage with no exercise or stimulation.  sorry I'm raving on blah blah:D |
