Toys that your rabbits actually play with

I rarely buy my rabbits toys... not because I am cruel, but because I went through a stage of buying so much for them and spending a fortune, and if i'm honest they rarely played with them!
I do buy willow toys and sticks as they enjoy them, they have commercially made tunnels, but what they enjoy most of all are cardboard boxes and toilet roll tubes stuffed with hay! I give the piggies brown paper bags stuffed with hay as they like to get inside.

I get the large paper bags from Primark
I buy one thing and ask for a large bag, Usually I am buying towels for buns or tea towls for rat hammocks I get the large paper bags from Primark
Oooo that's an excellent idea!!!!
I might have a trip to Primark!! :lol:
Maybe play is the wrong word. None of my rabbits have ever sat down with a tea set and had parties :lol: Most things they 'play' with is just things that encourage them to do natural stuff. Given a choice most rabbits will take the easy route they won't exercise out of an understanding it will keep them healthy.
So they get food in treat balls and if they want to eat then they have to work to get it. No food bowls here. They get sticks, they'll eat fresh because it tastes good but they'll eat/throw the others because I put them in their way and rabbits like to have clear routes. The same as they'll pick up and throw or dig anything else in their way. So yellow pages/varies plastic toys. Then cardboard boxes get 'edited' to make suitable bolt holes.
A lot of toys don't get used because if they don't taste good, result in any reward or are in the way then they are no more interesting than a wild rabbit would find a rock even if they are bright colours and rabbit/carrot shaped :lol:

Mine aren't big on toys, I bought a willow dog basket, Misty loooooooves it, and one of those wooden bridges that bend, the babies all love that, but Rory, Bolt, Jackson and Baloo all love their tunnel, which I made from a rectangle window box with holes at the end. The others just like to chew on my brand new hutches :evil::lol:
