Homemade Toys for Pet Rabbits

Pet rabbits need stimulation. Bored pet rabbits will chew electrical cords and furniture. As the owner of two pet rabbits, I can tell you that the expensive rabbit toys you'll find at the pet store are not ones pet rabbits really appreciate. I've purchased a ton of rabbit toys online and at pet stores, and just like children, my pet rabbits play with them once (sometimes not at all), and that's the end of it. If you want to really please your pet rabbits, don't buy a bunch of rabbit toys from the pet store. Rabbit toys don't have to be expensive. In fact, the best rabbit toys don't cost anything at all. With a little creativity, you can keep your pet rabbits entertained and always happy with a constant supply of homemade rabbit toys. You probably have plenty of rabbit toys hanging around your house, and you don't even know it.

Telephone books make great rabbit toys. My pet rabbits love to shred paper, and what better use for these books I never use anyway? When they get delivered to my door, phone books become instant rabbit toys.

Paper towel rolls also make great rabbit toys. My pet rabbits love them and will stand and beg for paper towel rolls whenever they see it's almost empty. Tip: leave the last little bit of paper on the roll, because this will make added fun for your pet rabbits!

Cardboard boxes are great rabbit toys. Every time I order something from Amazon, my pet rabbits wag their tails for the box (yes, my rabbits wags their tails -- they think they're dogs). Everyone I know who has pet rabbits says that boxes make the best rabbit toys. If you cut holes in two of the sides so your pet rabbits can run in and out, a cardboard box will surely be one of your furry friend's favorite rabbit toys too. My pet rabbits spend hours jumping in and out of boxes and playing hide-and-seek with them.
