So some of you may know I've taken on a bunny with a broken leg

She needs cage Rest for at least the next week and she's going crazy I've given her cardboard boxes and toilet roll tubes the usual culprits however I'm looking for ideas to keep her entertained obviously she's in the room whenever I am but she's got the attention span of a flea nothing keeps her interest

Mine love these: http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/p...-chews-toys-and-playthings/trio-of-play-balls

I fill them with food and they love chucking them around, but even when all the food is gone they still chuck them around and chew them to pieces!

They also love these:

You can tie them to the cage or just have it loose but because there is food in the middle and hay on the outside it goes down very well. Phillip will honestly be there for hours trying to get to the better stuff on the inside and he has a pretty short attention span too.

Hope that helps :D

Edited because I completely forgot their favourite thing of all time: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rosewood-N...&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=cardboard+carrot+house

Worth every penny for the hours of use they get out of it!!

My rabbit had surgery on both her knees and was in a cage that I can only describe as something I wouldn't even keep a hamster in for 2 months after the surgery - so believe me when I say I get it [emoji38]

First week was the hardest, but she got used to it - so as yours is only a week unfortunately I think she'll just have to deal with it :(

Apple and pear sticks which fluffers on here sells really helped she loved stripping the bark off and chewing them, lots of fresh hay and different hays, I spent a lot of time with her too, and she got so many treats and things to eat and chew on the bars of the cage to keep her occupied. I really wish there was more options but honestly after all that, she can't really do much.. So she's eventually just going to deal with it. The first time mine hopped after the surgery - months later - she was ecstatic :)

You'll get through it, and you're doing everything you can - she's a very lucky bunny :) x

If you can get hold of fresh willow with leaves on, you can push the branches through the top of the cage so she can nibble on them.
