Where do you get your string?

daphnephoebe · Jul 28, 2016

So I'm looking for string & rope to use for the bunnies to make toys with.

I was looking at seagrass twine & sisal string but I don't know where to get it from so it'll be pet safe.
Also, is hemp string safe for rabbits?

Any recommendations on websites I can get it from? It'll be used to hang fresh greens from, forage etc

I got mine (sisal) from Wilko

Thank you.
I've checked tesco but they only have cotton which I believe is a no go.
I'll have a look in wilko when I go to that area. I might also get some from amazon. I'm planning on making a sisal board so also trying to find something safe to die the rope different colours. I might try different foods.

I've found that raffia is safe so they've had balls made from it. I've also made a mini one for the gerbil

Kinda proud of my ball making skills

We use hay bale string for all sorts of things, but for bunny toys I would go for raffia - or even long bits of hay (plaited?) or thin, fresh willow - as it would be much safer if chewed or ingested. I am also wary of using anything which could get tangled round legs and cause damage, so would go for the easier to break or chew options for safety as well.

Thank you for the reply

They don't seem keen on raffia to eat so I may use this. Its been fairly strong too so should work well for making a line & hanging toys with.
I'll try willow for making the toys I plan but I don't think it'll work. They'll still have fun eating it if I fail
