I'm not really sure where to put this, so it's here.
I just wanted some ideas on how to make playtime more fun. I have three rabbits, two are a bonded pair and we're going to start bonding them with our single lady soon, so I need to keep in mind that they have to play alone for now but will hopefully be playing as a group later on. They live in the spare bedroom in XL dog crates, and when they're out the designated rabbit-appropriate areas are the hallway and a good chunk of the living room. They do like to wander around and do some binkying, but they also display a lot of boredom-induced behaviours so I want to get them some stuff to help with that. In their crates they mainly only have chew toys (toilet roll tubes, wooden blocks, cardboard, these things) because that's all they seem to like, but I'm trying to expand their tastes. What I've thought of so far is a tunnel, maybe leading into one of those heavy-duty cardboard boxes filled with straw so they can dig/hide, and one of those radiator beds for cats. Has anyone else used these? We never have the heating on and they like to jump, so I thought it might be a good idea. Maybe a scratching/hemp mat?
Any other ideas? I really don't have much money at the moment so I'd like to stick to homemade toys, or homemade versions of shop stuff, or cheap shop stuff!
