Do you want your bunny to have lots of toys, but don't want to buy them in stores? Read this article to learn how to make them yourself!
Steps
Step 1. Make a toy out of paper
You can put hay inside cardboard tubes to quickly create a fun toy for your rabbit. You can also use kitchen towel or toilet paper.
Step 2. Have your rabbit play with cardboard boxes
If you cut "doors" into cardboard boxes, your rabbit can nibble on them and use them as a place to be quiet and peaceful.
Step 3. Make a sock toy
Fill an old, but clean, sock with hay and tie a knot at the end to make a fun toy. You can also add a surprise like a banana peel to make it even more fun.
Step 4. Use shoelaces
You can tie some shoelaces on the rabbit's cage for him to play with.
Step 5. Let your bunny play with the card
You can crumble up some paper you no longer need, such as old newspapers, so your bunny can nibble on it, or you can break it up a little so that it can use it to lay on it. Make sure the paper has no ink that can harm the rabbit. Ink made from soy, found in most newspapers, is not harmful.
Step 6. Find or buy an old stuffed animal to cuddle
Remove all plastic parts, such as the mustache or the tag, and give it to your rabbit to play with. Some rabbits like to play with stuffed puppets.
Step 7. Create wooden nibble toys for your rabbit by purchasing unused, natural wooden spoons
Step 8. Use rabbit-proof items
Only use items that are not harmful to your rabbit to chew, such as paper. Don't let them gnaw on plastic or tapes.
Step 9. Give your bunny your homemade toys and see how much fun he will have
Warnings
- Don't let your bunny chew on cords or wires of any kind.
- Be careful that the paper is not swallowed.
- Don't give your bunny toys with sharp edges.
- Don't give your bunny toys that would hurt him if chewed.
- Be careful with the food you put in toys - look online and ask an expert about food that is good (or not) for rabbits.
