Things I can use as toys for my rabbit that I might have lying around?

I have been thinking of getting my rabbit some toys, but then I thought maybe I have something to use here at home. I鈥檓 not cheap, but I live on the countryside and civilization (aka pet store that sells more than food), is so, so far away. Things I can use as toys for my rabbit that I might have lying around?
Here are a few simple rabbit toy ideas...


Cardboard concrete forms for burrowing


Cardboard roll from paper towels or toilet paper


Untreated wicker baskets or boxes full of: shredded paper, junk mail, magazines, straw, or other organic materials for digging


Yellow Pages for shredding


Cat toys: Batta balls, and other cat toys that roll or can be tossed


Parrot toys that can be tossed, or hung from the top of the cage and chewed or hit


Baby toys: hard plastic (not teething) toys like rattles and keys, things that can be tossed


Children's or birds' mobiles for hitting


';Lazy cat lodge'; (cardboard box with ramps and windows) to climb in and chew on. Also, kitty condos, tubes, tunnels, and trees


Nudge and roll toys like large rubber balls, empty Quaker Oat boxes and small tins


';Busy Bunny'; toys


Plastic Rainbow slinkies


Toys with ramps and lookouts for climbing and viewing the world


Dried out pine cones


Jungle gym type toys from Toys R Us


A (straw) whisk broom


A hand towel for bunching and scooting


Untreated wood, twigs and logs that have been aged for at least 3 months. Aapple tree branches can be eaten fresh off the tree. Stay away from: cherry, peach, apricot, plum and redwood, which are all poisonous.


Untreated sea grass or maize mats from Pier One or Cost Plus


Things to jump up on (they like to be in high places)


Colorful, hard plastic caps from laundry detergent and softener bottles. They have great edges for picking up with their teeth, make a nice ';ponk'; sound when they collide, and the grip ridges molded into the plastic make a neat ';rachety'; sound when rabbits digs at the cap. The caps are nice for human-stacks-on-floor and bun-knocks-down kind of games. Note: Be sure not to choose caps from caustic material bottles (e.g.drain uncloggers, bathroom cleaner bottles) since a residue of the cleaner might remain no matter how much washing off you do.


If you don't have the everyday supplies i mentioned that you can find in your house, search online, to see if home supplies or store bought items are cheaper.Things I can use as toys for my rabbit that I might have lying around?
Laundry cap lids. Wash them well and done! They love those. A diggy box, cardboard box with shredded newspaper and a little hay with a hand full of pellets. They will dig and munch away, so cute! Blankets and towels, for digging in and rearranging. Old phone books (yes the ink in phone books and newspaper is safe, but not in other printed material). But you dont have to go to the pet store either. Any hard plastic baby toys would work. Like stackable cups, links and rings, rattles etc. Hope this helps!!
How big is your bunny?


How about some empty cardboard boxes with holes in them? I lived in the country and the feed store wasn't that far away. Hide some carrots in these boxes. What does your bunny like to do, is he curious? Fearfull? Does he come out of his cage? Does he live in the house or in a pen outside. Rabbits love to chew so anything that won't hurt him should be fun. Wood. Does he have a salt lick? Does he like movement? Maybe a small childrens toy. Something from a ceral box or McDonalds? A spinning top? A carrot, apple, tied to a string and drag it around for him to chase. Peanuts??? Graham cracker bits???


How active is he???
Here you will get Rabbit Toys from Agritura.com in cheapest price. It is much easier than you might think. You don't need to play with him! Rabbits love to play, hop, throw things, and just have fun! You may not realize how easy and fun it is to buy toys for your rabbit.
