What are some fun, homemade bunny toys?


Answers:
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 (not the wax kind)
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, for the rabbit's safety.
take a tiolet paper roll and put a carrot in the middle and then stuff the two sides with alfalfa....they loveee it !!!
Just A random Idea Like What i Did With My Hamster But If you Have A Fan On The Roof Take A Carrot And Tie It To A String And Then Tie it On The Fan And Then Put The Fan on The lowest Setting And Watch It Spin. Remember To Adjust The String So it Doesn't Spin Insanely But in A nice Circle on The Ground And Dont For Get To Clean The Ground First you Dont want Hiim To Get Sick And Hopefully He Will Chase It Anround And around
hello i have a french lop and she loves to play with empty paper towel rolls filled with her fav food
i dont know about toys but if you get a fence and put it out side in a shady grassy area and supervise the rabits as they hop around and nibble on the grass they love it.
Paper bags and cardboard boxes can be used as hiding places, scratching posts and for chewing. Make sure there are two areas for your rabbit to enter and exit. A large cardboard box turned over with holes cut big enough for the rabbit to go inside and disappear are quite popular. Each day change the boxes as bunnies get bored easily. Use long boxes like those for fluorescent lights (open on each end) and computer boxes, which are turned over with holes cut in each end so he has his own burrow.

Cardboard rolls from toilet paper and paper towels are great chew toys.

Boxes full of shredded paper, junk mail or magazines can be used for playful digging and scratching.

Toys from other sources can also be used for bunnies. Cat toys that your bunny can roll or toss and bird toys that can be hung and batted or chewed can be fun. Even human baby rattles or mobiles make great playthings for rabbits.

Hard plastic lids from laundry detergent and softener bottles (carefully washed and rinsed) make excellent toys. They are easy to grasp with teeth and, as an added bonus, make great noises.

Dried pine cones, straw whisk brooms, hand towels and even old telephone books can keep your rabbit busy for hours.

Since rabbits love to chew, consider offering your bunny twigs as toys. If taken from a tree outside, age the wood for at least 3 months. An exception is an apple tree twig, which can be eaten straight off the tree. However, some twigs are poisonous – avoid twigs from cherry, peach, apricot, plum or redwood trees.
Make sure all the toys are clean and not small enough to be swallowed. When chewed to a size that could cause a problem, discard and replace the toy. One good things about most homemade toys is that once they “disappear,” as they inevitably will behind the sofa or refrigerator, bring them out later and they are once again “new” toys.


hope i helped!
