As part of the challenge I have offered to maintain this thread.

The idea is that you post your tutorials ( video or slideshows) on how to make your toys, or how to enrich your bunnies lives and make it more interesting. there are lots of easy things that we can do

Please post links to them on this thread, with a brief description. I will then organised them and create a list catergorising them for easy use on this first thread.

You will need-
1 toilet roll tube
some treats

1. Fold in one end of the toilet role tube, so that the end is closed off amd treats wont fall out !

2 Add in a few treats - i have used woodlands carrot treats


3. Close in the other end of the tube making sure the treats wont come out !

1 Box (I have used a beer box)
scissors
Hay
Treats/herbs

1 Cut the flaps off one side of the box


2. Fill the box with your bunnies favourite hay !


3 Add your treats or Herbs- i have used some woodlands carrot treats

So I call this... the newspaper treat ball and it's really simple.

You will need:

newspaper
grass
hay
treats of choice (I used fenugreek crunchies)



Lay down a page of newspaper flat and place hay and grass on top:


I then broke up the fenugreek crunchies, it's up to you whether you want to do this but with me having a dental bun, I broke them up into smaller pieces:


and then mixed them into the grass and hay:


Then you scrunch up the newspaper:


In the end it should look something like this:


and you're done! I'll be giving mine to the buns when they get home tomorrow.
