A Guide to Choosing and Caring for your Pet Rabbit!
Rabbits are playful, active, and curious, and need a good variety of toys to keep them occupied (and out of trouble!).
Make sure all toys are safe. They must be untreated by chemicals, have no loose parts, and if the rabbit manages to chew something off, throw the toy away immediately. Here is a list of simple homemade toys:
- Old books or phone books
- Plush bunny to groom
- Old blanket or towel, to bunch up and rearrange
- Paper bag or box of hay (e.g., a cereal box or any small box)
- Plastic keys (the kind for babies)
- Piece of wood for chewing
- Container (empty plastic butter bowl, etc.) with something inside to make it rattle
- Untreated wicker baskets
- Rolled up newspaper, paper grocery bags
- Cardboard toilet paper, paper towel rolls or paper cups
- Carpeted cat condo
- Cardboard tunnels
- Untreated grass mats
- Set up an obstacle course. Use cardboard boxes, tunnels, and baskets. Just make sure it is not too high.
