Enrichment

Rabbits need lots of exercise and enrichment to stave off boredom and to promote positive physical and mental health.

Use your imagination when enriching your rabbits’ environment but ensure that everything you use is safe, non-toxic, and will not cause injury.

Here are some toy ideas:

Fill cardboard toilet paper rolls with hay and healthy treats.
Hide a slice of fruit or vegetable in a treat ball.
Untreated wicker baskets, wooden ‘fiddlesticks’, cartons, and untreated fruit tree limbs make great shredding fun and are also important for wearing down teeth.

Telephone books, boxes, cat tunnels, and blocks of untreated wood are excellent for stretching, climbing, or sitting.
Remember to let your rabbits destroy their toys if they want to. That is part of the fun for them!
Rabbits love the chance to kick up their heels in their own exercise area outside.
Invest in an exercise pen or buy several and link them together with tubes/tunnels to make a mega outdoor play area.
Add a variety of toys to the pen.
Allow your rabbits the space and opportunity to eat fresh grass.
Rabbits love sandpits filled with soil or sand. Pushing sand and digging encourages their natural behaviors.

Toys are a fantastic way for you to interact with your rabbits. Try tossing a ball and encouraging them to toss it back.

Rabbits love to investigate, push, pull, and play with toys. Ensure you alternate toys regularly to keep them interested.
