Most pet stores stock toys for rabbits and other rodents. Rabbits need branches to chew on to keep their teeth in check as they can grow too long and cause problems with their feeding.

They also like to dig holes in the ground.  =

I know from experience that rabbits love to tunnel or hide. Taking a large pvc pipe and cutting large holes in it would be great. You could also do the same with a box or a basket.  =

I have other ideas you could also use
.rubber balls if they are not chewed
.baby toys
.hanging toys
.rice mats
.things to climb on
I hope you have got some ideas.  =

empty wooden thread spools, if you can find them at flea markets, make good toys they can chew them like branches  =

my bunny loves the toilet paper role thanks for the idea  =

Name: kattie123 • Date: 06/14/2007 17:05:21

those are good ideas but u can also just go outside and break some branches off of a tree  =

Name: kattie123 • Date: 06/14/2007 17:17:28

the branches help with teething and there all natural so the rabbite wont take in toxins and colorings.My rabbit loves it log.and it was so easy to make.Heres how ,
take a log longer then your rabbit but tall and wide enough so it can fit.next take a tool that will howl out the log.make sure the log will not roll if the rabbit jumps on it so just nail it to a flat wooden board.rabbits like to eat bark and moss so this tunnel has several purposes 1 a look out 2 a toy tunnel and 3 something to chew on  =

i have made a few of my own bunny toys! One which all my buns love is coffee jar lids. they throw it around for ages. another one which i give them is an old towel. they love to scrunch it and dig it etc. I dont know how practical it is for you, but if you half fill a baby bath or similar with peat and hay, the bunnies love to dig in it. helps stop them from digging things you dont want them to! my buns also love balls and anything that jingles. a cardboard box does wonders too! hope this helps xx  =

shredded paper is great for your bunny to burrow in and move around in  =

toilet paper tubes stuffed with timothy or alfalfa hay they love to chew on it and throw it  =

Name: Megan • Date: 07/12/2007 20:07:44

cat toys with bells that they can pick up and throw

baby rattles or keys made of HARD plastic

a toilet paper roll stuffed with hay

washed and dried lids from laundry detergent

cardboard boxes with small starter holes cut in them that the bunny can finish

a concrete form tube from the hardware store will cost you less than $10 and give your bunny a long tunnel to run in. These are great when placed behind furniture.

Toys that can hang from the top of the cage, some bird toys are good for this, but don't buy any with rawhide on them

As for litter, don't use sawdust! Pine and cedar shavings are dangerous as well. Aspen is okay, but you're better off with carefresh or feline pine or something like that. Where do you live? If you have a fireplace store near you wood pellet fuel makes cheap excellent litter. Please research litter training and other things at www.rabbit.org  =

Katie, the best website to learn about rabbits is http://www.rabbit.org . . . And if your rabbit sits in the corner all day, he is probably scared. I recently got two 2 month old double-maned lionheads from a woman who had kept them outdoors, and the day I brought them home, they were completely frightened of everything. It takes time for shy rabbits to warm up to people, so give your rabbit patience. When you let your rabbit out to play, try sitting in his play area quietly for an hour or so every day so he gets used to you. You could also lay on your stomach (so he feels more comfortable and you don't look like a giant) and hold out treats in your hand. Rabbits are very curious animals, and eventually he will come and investigate you. Give him time too, before you try to reach out and pet him, or he will run away. Also, since Angoras are long-haired, you'll have to brush him every day and if the fur gets matted, cut out the mats. When I brush my rabbits, I hold them on my lap with a towel, pet them, and then begin to brush them. I use a dog flea brush and some dog coat trimmers. Be sure not to rake the rabbit's skin with the brush, and to coax out tangles with your fingers so as not to pull out his fur. Let me know if you have any more questions. :)  =

yes, even though you have probably heard this before, rattles with attached peices of wood. they have great ones at petco.
and just wood chips, and cardboard.

MY bunny is the kind of bunny that just gets fat but i have found many ways to keep him happy! A good idea is to get some sort of plush bunny for him to groom or just toss around or ballshung on his cage which string always do the trick too!  =

oops let me re phrase that a Ball hung with string always do the trick hehe  =

To all rabbit lovers and owners, i picked up the book Rabbits for Dummies....best book ever on how to care for them and what they enjoy for toys and how to read their body language to know if they are happy. It was $15 a very worthy investment  =

You can NOT just get ANY branch off a tree outside...certain types of branches (primarily/especially the bark) are very toxic for bunnies.  =

my rabbit wont let me clip his back nails and they are getting to long is there any way to clip them without him pulling away from me  =

Name: lindalu • Date: 10/30/2007 09:37:43

You can try wrapping him in a towel that should keep him still enough for you to clip them. You may need another person to hold him while you clip. Also are you aware that some rabbits have the same problem with their teeth over growing? When that happens just like their nails their teeth have to be cut.  =

Name: Noelle • Date: 10/30/2007 19:11:42

ok thanks you actually have to cut their teeth can't you give them some wood  =

Name: lindalu • Date: 10/30/2007 20:50:48

Wood wont help if their teeth are already to long. You can prevent the teeth from getting to long by providing him with plenty of chew objects. Keep in mind some rabbits don't chew as much as others so it wont matter how many chew objects you give him he may still have the over grown teeth. Unless you know what you are doing I wouldn't recommend cutting his teeth your self. Most vets will do it for a small fee.  =

hi,
i find the carboard tubes from kitchen towels and toilet rolls make great toys for rabbits. Also they love hopping in and out of boxes,as well as nibbling bits of wood from trees which have no algae on and aren't dead. Lastly,they love eating brown paper which comes wrapped around my brothers papaers which he delivers, and best of all this is safe for them to eat as it has no ink of colourings in! I hope you found this info useful and could you please notify me by email (chirpy_em@hotmail.com) iff you get any more useful tips.
Thanks!  =

Hi! I have many breeding Holland lop rabbits, and yes, i had that problem too. My main male, Ozzie, loves to rip up "stuff". My answer: old phone books. He loves to tear them up! One down side is that the cage or hutch gets dirty, so you'll have to clean it in a couple of days. My wonderful mother rabbit, Blu Baby, is very, well neat. She likes to put all of her hay, toys and poop in a nice and neat corner. With picky rabbits like that, you have to try out many toys. You can put cardboard boxes and rolls in their cages, chew blocks, baby toys, bells, and anything else thats small and intertaining. Hope that you like the ideas!  =

Take a cardboard toilet paper tube, put a carrot in it, and stuff it with timothy hay.  =

Name: Bunny 2007 • Date: 12/15/2007 22:16:41

You could also make your own home made toys by simply taking an empty toilet paper roll and filling it with hay and sticking a carrot in the middle of it your bunny will love it its appatizing and your bunny will play with it for hours  =

Your rabbit should love anything My rabbit plays with a lot of things.That are not toxic or not safe for instance a plain old cardboard box or newspaper.TP rolls are good too or a old towel they can arrange.just be creative and see if it works remember be sure they are safe.  =

I have lots of rabbits and I give them each a soda can! They love it. Make sure its empty (duh) and take off all the sharp parts. They roll it around and play with it. Also you may need to replace it often because they nibble on it.  =
