I have trouble assuring myself whether or not I'm a good owner even though my rabbit doesn't seem happy playing with toys, I'd see other people with a bunch of toys and their rabbits happily interacting with them, am I doing something wrong? I'm not too certain if it's normal or there's other rabbits that do the same thing. I got him several chewing toys, also throwing toys. I had to throw some away because he just leave them in his bathroom corner. He still has his carrot chewing n' toss toy, half eaten, which he occasionally acknowledges in means of moving it out of his way. He has a wooden chewing toy that's meant to hang somewhere in his cage, he'll give some acknowledgement to that too, but not all the time. I just tried putting it where he can easily reach, like on the floor of his cage ( just did that; he simply moved it away from him. )
He can play with some of my baby brother's toys, he has a hard plastic bowling set, which I put up for him whenever he's having free roam in the living room, he'll occasionally knock it down. There's a ball he can toss and play with, a full mobile one that he can simply push to move, doesn't bother with it and tossing toy keys I'm sure he's able to throw around ( hard plastic keys, right? ) The only toys he actually enjoys are toilet rolls and paper towel rolls, woven toys ( balls ) and mainly his blankets. He'll spend maybe hours digging and burrowing under his blankets. I've tried different means in making him hand-made toys, like cardboard balls that'd have either hay or treats in it, he ignores them if it has a carrot in it. He also has a digging box that he simply eats the contents ( ripped up paper I believe is safe for rabbits and hay, along with several cardboard rolls for him to play with as well ), I'm trying to get him out of the habit of chewing the carpet, under the assumption giving him a digging box would help but it really doesn't help with his problem. I'm tempting on asking my mom to get stack-able cups that he can also play with but I fear it might be a waste if he just ignores them. I'm not sure if it's because his last owners didn't bother with toys either or it's because he's a larger rabbit. Also I'm having trouble with introducing him to different fruits and veggies that aren't carrots, he'll give them slight acknowledgement but refuses to try them. Not sure if it's just him being picky.
