I want to buy or make my rabbits some toys, and I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to suggest some and where I can find them. I don't want to spend a fortune.
They already have a Roll N Chew toy which they don't really play with-they seem to avoid coloured woods, but they love their Treat Ball. One is about 5 years old and the other is one, and they're both on the large side-not fat, but quite big. Any reccomendations? Thanks.
Answers:
The more you play with your rabbit, the more it'll consider you as its play mate, especially if it doesn't have a rabbit companion. Making and buying toys is a great way to bond with with your rabbit, and you will see him do things you didn't think rabbits could do - like dance! Plastic Slinkys, hard plastic baby key rings, hard plastic baby rattles and small unvarnished, unpainted baskets are great rabbit toys. Some other toys that rabbits prefer are paper bags and cardboard boxes for crawling inside, cardboard roll from paper towels or toilet paper, cat toys: batta balls, and other cat toys that roll or can be tossed, parrot toys that can be tossed or hung from the top of the cage, baby toys: hard plastic (not teething) toys like rattles and keys, and slinkies. It's really exciting and fun playing with your rabbit because you'd be amazed on how much fun you and your bunny will be having. If you want a way to play with your rabbit that I'd most likely recommend, I'd be happy to tell you:
- Cut a cardboard from a roll of paper towels into halves or thirds and stuff it with hay. Clean toilet paper tubes work well, too.
- Get on the floor with your rabbit and give him one of the toys. Rabbits, like cats, are independent. Let your rabbit come to you. Rabbits are also very curious. They will want to check you out.
- Shake a rattle, or anything that can shake and make a particular noise, and then place it on the ground near your rabbit. He will probably pick it up and toss it.
- Play games, like hide and seek with your rabbit or have him find alfalfa pellets hidden in your closed hands.
- Pretend the Slinky, if you have one already or bought one, is sneaking up on him. He will lunge at it and pretend to attack it. Roll the cardboard tube toward him or stand it up on end. He will pick it up and toss it or push it over. Then, let him have it and toss it around.
- Leave these toys in your rabbit's play area so he can play on his own when you aren't there to play with him.
But, be careful with some of the toys you decide to buy your rabbit. Make sure toss toys are light and small, so that your rabbit can easily pick up and toss them.
Cardboard tubes, balls, most cat and bird toys are good.
i don't think rabbits play with toys.id suggest something for him to chew on.preferably some thing with no dye and fortified with vitamins.
They need things they can chew. They need to chew to keep their teeth trimmed.
Yeah dont buy the colored toys from pet stores. its not good for them and they dont like them. i bought some long time ago for my rabbit and it was a waste of money. they like cardboard... but honestly u dont really need to spend a lot of money on it
Mine likes to fling around small plastic (tough plastic, so it isn't ingestable) parrot toys (the kind with linked rings).
My rabbit seems to enjoy anything that makes noise and that he can toss around his cage.
Small toys, cat jingle-balls, and cardboard tubes that they can chew on are all good options.
Here are a couple of the toys I have bought for my rabbits and they absolutely love them. Look for a hard plastic ferret or cat toy with bells. I bought my rabbit a toy at the dollar store and it is his favorite. I tried looking for something similar for you but could not find anything.
