All about Rabbit Toys

Great for both young and older rabbits!
Keeping your bunny mentally and physically stimulated is key to their health and happiness. Here's a breakdown of safe and fun toy ideas.

Safe Toy Guidelines

Always consider your rabbit's safety first when choosing toys.

  1. Use solid plastic baby or cat toys .

  2. Avoid toys with small parts that your rabbit might chew off and eat.

  3. Use hanging toys with caution — ensure they break away easily to prevent entanglement.

  4. Avoid toys that can trap your rabbit's head or paws.

  5. Inspect fabric-based toys (like feeding mats) for:

    • Loose threads (can catch paws or nails)

    • Excessive wear from chewing
      Replace if necessary.

  6. Wood, willow-based items, and any products intended for chewing or eating should only be sourced from reputable rabbit-specific vendors.

Tunnels

Rabbits love exploring tunnels — they can hop through or hide inside.

  • Willow tunnels: Ideal since they’re lightweight and chew-safe

  • Cat tunnels: Great fun! But:

    • Inspect for exposed metal wires

    • Ensure fabric is secure

    • Check that the tunnel is wide enough so your rabbit won’t get stuc

Think like a Rabbit.

When shopping at flea markets, garage sales, or thrift stores, use your imagination:

  • Can the rabbit toss it?

  • Can you hide a treat inside or underneath it?

  • Can they push it over to get a reward?
