One of the cheapest and easiest toys is a toilet/kitchen roll tube stuffed with hay. Ours love tossing them around and munching the hay too :D Give it a try!
Besides that, look for tunnels, caves, hideouts, boxes to climb on, wood chews etc. in your pet shop. The choice is endless!!

My buns aren't really interested in toys. They love their tunnels and cardboard boxes. :D

One of those material bunny tunnels, our bun loves it! Bought her the Tent to go on the end of it today! The tunnels are £7.99 in P@H or Pampurred pets, they fold down and go back in their little carry bag! Pets @ Home by me have expanded their Rabbit toy range has a whole isle full of it now! Can now buy most of the stuff you could only get off the net before. Becareful though you'll spend a fortune. I went in today to exchange a bag of food so should not of spent any pennies, but came out 30 mins later having spent £16.00:roll:

I also bought a bunny Kong to put a couple of pellets in so she will have to keep rolling it to get them to come out!

You can wipe them clean if they get dirty, material is basically like a umbrella's material!

A really good toy is one that you can hang from the roof of the cage or somewhere. You get ones with treats on them, and wooden blocks etc and the one i have for my buns has a bell on the the end of it. One of my buns especially loves to play with this one and ring it all the time!! You could make your own things to hang too, or get some of the toys meant for birds that hang :D

I love buying stuff off the website below:
http://www.chinchillas2shop.co.uk/chewtoy.htm
Its only chew toys but one of my bunnies likes running about with the wooden ring.
I'm not sure what you can get over there, I know when I had a quick scout around I didn't find much for the buns :?
Try toilet roll tubes, stuff them with hay with a few pellets in the middle, should keep them occupied for a while
Mine did have a tent, from Ikea of all places, but it became their loo and was a nightmare to keep clean. They have a p@h tunnel which is fab, I already have a replacement ready for when this one needs binning! they also have a Bilibo http://www.bilibo.com/en/enter/
which was for the kids, but is now a bunny toy. Other than that they also love cardboard boxes.

mine love tents and tunnels, but they also love to chew!! i made a tunnel out of some small cardborad boxes with a big box attached at the end - like a den!!! dont stick the boxes together with tape etc - I just slot mine together. when i go shopping, i pack in boxes not bags, so they always have a supply!!!

my bunnies love willow balls that you can put hay in too. I have a willow bridge that i hang natural treats from they love that. Also have a tunnel same as everyone else they love running as fast as they can through that! I also have yellow pages in a box for them to dig in! and rip up lol

It's designed for Bunnys, Hamsters and Guinea Pigs, I only put a few of her Excel pellets in there as treats got to much sugar in and upset her tummy! It keeps her amused for ages until she gets so frustrated and slams her paw on the end and it tips and pellets fall out all over floor!
