Instructions
Remember that rabbits need to chew. If you do not provide suitable chew toys for your pet, he will find his own chew toys. His favorites tend to be things like wooden baseboards and chair legs. To avoid having your rabbit do damage to your home it is best to introduce acceptable chew toys.
Purchase commercially marketed rabbit chew toys and see which ones she likes. You can also buy small balls and other toys marketed for dogs and cats. Just be careful that there are no small parts or toxic materials in any of the toys.
Find toys around your home. Some of your rabbit's favorite toys might not really be toys at all. Try things such as untreated straw baskets, canning jar rings and cardboard boxes with the ends cut off. Phone books and magazines are also enjoyed by many rabbits. Be sure the magazine is printed with a soy based ink. Most magazines today are.
Provide a high place for your rabbit to jump onto. Rabbits like sitting up high in a spot with a good view. Cat mazes, tunnels and perches can be the favorite of rabbits.
Play with your rabbit using the toys. Most rabbits will not play with you unless you get onto the floor at their level. Rabbits need to feel safe when playing so you should never roughhouse with them like you might a cat or dog.
How to Choose Pet Rabbit Chew Toys
Some rabbits like to play with toys and others do not. Try different types of toys with your rabbit to see what she is interested in. Rabbits are, by nature, happy animals that enjoy playing. Play provides exercise for your pet and helps to prevent obesity, boredom and depression.
