Toys Your Rabbit Will Love or Safe Toys for Bunnies - House Rabbit Society
INTERESTING 
Tags: pets, rabbits, toys, bunnies
The House Rabbit Society asks this question: Why is it important to provide toys for your bunny rabbit? And what exactly are some good toys for rabbits...???
.......................Well toys are important says the House Rabbit Society because rabbits need mental stimulation without which they could become depressed and excessively destructive: Rabbits also need safe physical exercise.
...........So Just what are good bunny toys? There are a few below as suggested by the House Rabbit Society..............
(If you find your rabbit ingesting plastic or cardboard toys, switch to a different type of toy that the rabbit is not interested in eating. Ie if you see plastic bits and pieces of paper in your bunny rabbit's number 2, give him/her something else) (oh, and I am not making this up, there really is a House Rabbit Society, and I didn't edit the list but if I had, I would have added a little bunny rabbit vibrator)
| 1. | Paper Bags and Cardboard boxes for crawling inside, scratching, and chewing. Bunnies like them much more when there are at least two entry points into the boxes. Chris Rosenzweig has some Great Tips on Building Bunny Box Toys |
| 2. | Cardboard concrete forms for burrowing |
| 3. | Cardboard roll from paper towels or toilet paper |
| 4. | Untreated wicker baskets or boxes full of: shredded paper, junk mail, magazines, straw, or other organic materials for digging |
| 5. | Yellow Pages for shredding |
| 6. | Cat toys: Batta balls, and other cat toys that roll or can be tossed |
| 7. | Parrot toys that can be tossed, or hung from the top of the cage and chewed or hit |
| 8. | Baby toys: hard plastic (not teething) toys like rattles and keys, things that can be tossed |
| 9. | Children's or birds' mobiles for hitting |
| 10. | "Lazy cat lodge" (cardboard box with ramps and windows) to climb in and chew on. Also, kitty condos, tubes, tunnels, and trees |
| 11. | Nudge and roll toys like large rubber balls, empty Quaker Oat boxes and small tins |
| 12. | "Busy Bunny" toys |
| 13. | Plastic Rainbow slinkies |
| 14. | Toys with ramps and lookouts for climbing and viewing the world |
| 15. | Dried out pine cones |
| 16. | Jungle gym type toys from Toys R Us |
| 17. | A (straw) whisk broom |
| 18. | A hand towel for bunching and scooting |
| 19. | Untreated wood, twigs and logs that have been aged for at least 3 months. Apple tree branches can be eaten fresh off the tree. Stay away from: cherry, peach, apricot, plum and redwood, which are all poisonous. |
| 20. | Untreated sea grass or maize mats from Pier One or Cost Plus |
| 21. | Things to jump up on (they like to be in high places) |
| 22. | Colorful, hard plastic caps from laundry detergent and softener bottles. They have great edges for picking up with their teeth, make a nice "ponk" sound when they collide, and the grip ridges molded into the plastic make a neat "rachety" sound when rabbits digs at the cap. The caps are nice for human-stacks-on-floor and bun-knocks-down kind of games. Note: Be sure not to choose caps from caustic material bottles (e.g.drain uncloggers, bathroom cleaner bottles) since a residue of the cleaner might remain no matter how much washing off you do. |
