Store-bought toy recommendations needed :P Also thoughts on loofah?

I want to get some new toys for my lot but I'm having awful trouble finding anything appropriate. Everything seems to be dyed or painted and I've always avoided things like that. Am I being too paranoid?
I've also avoided loofah for years as I was worried about the potential to cause blockages but it seems to be increasingly used in bunny toys.
I do make some toys where I can but it's hard when you're trying to find materials x 8 (yes, apparently they must have one each :roll

I'm wondering about things like this: http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pe...55B0+*%5D# As it looks like something they might have fun destroying.
There are also things like this: http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/p...hew?i=9&orderBy=3&fa=||price_GBP%3A%5B0+*%5D#
Or even this: http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/p...Size=45&orderBy=1&fa=||price_GBP%3A%5B0+*%5D#
But that's going back to dye.. Also I'm not sure about corn leaf..?

On a similar note I saw some rabbits playing with this in store and nearly got one but I'm not sure what type of wood this is; does it look safe?: http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/p...Size=45&orderBy=3&fa=||price_GBP%3A%5B0+*%5D#

I've also avoided water hyacinth as I read something about it potentially picking up heavy metals from the ground where it's grown and I doubt they're going to be too bothered about where it's sourced from. But again it's in so many toys; Am I just being too paranoid?

What store-bought toys do you all use? Any recommendations?


The only ones I use at the moment are:
Seagrass mat from Zooplus (actually the hammock with the strings pulled out)
Willow carrot from VetUK
Seagrass ball from Wilko (been slightly concerned about this since I saw that it was made in china)
Willow twist from P@H (can't say this has proven very popular)
Plastic jingle balls (P@H), rattles and keys but these aren't very popular. Mine like to destroy :lol:

I did buy the willow ring from P@H a few times but stopped after I found it multiple times either around the neck of a couple of the rabbits or in the case of Snowflake wrapped around her middle and restricting her breathing :shock: I have had the same with the large willow balls stuffed with hay (bought from Viovet but also sold elsewhere) so stopped using those too.

I've no idea about loofah.. Mine get it in toys tho.. So will be interested to see what people think.

These are what I buy - gunna attach pictures as it's easier to show than describe I think - for the baskets which they love I take everything out cut all string off and stuff the stuff back in the basket. All the attached all 4 of mine love with the willow ball one of mine actually just eats the whole thing... [emoji38] Oh and the seagrass tunnel is too small for them to go through I stuff hay and forage in them, and they destroy the tunnel and eat the stuff I've stuffed in there [emoji38] hope this is helpful - I've no idea what the peppers are made of btw but buns go nuts for them..

Petcarebypost have some good stuff and I’ve found that they’re cheapest on a lot of it

What a lucky bunch of rabbits! Mine get grass and forage as main treats stuffed into willow tubes (zooplus) and willow balls which dont last long!

None of my small pets (rabbits, guinea pigs or hamsters) have taken any notice of loofah toys.

Frosty likes the chill and chew mats, food treat ball which I put his pellets in, and he loves jumping on and off things.
