Cardboard paper towel tubes, dowels, sticks from a poplar or a fruit tree (ask someone if you don't know what kind of tree one is), jingle bell on a ribbon, just plain corrugated cardboard pieces (good to chew on AND dig at) hay to eat AND rearrange .... in general, the best bunny toys are the cheapest! At times I fold a piece of paper into a simple tent and prop it up for Miss Hoppy to knock down and chew on ... An old phone book to tear up ...
Every bunny is different, you'll discover what she like to play with and what she ignores. We got dowels for Miss Hoppy to chew on, but she never did. Instead they are noise-makers. She would stand on them with one paw, then pick it up in hear teeth and let it loudly SNAP back to the floor!
She does chew on yummy sticks, though - she is hoping Grandpa got her some more for Christmas. He knows where to find the yummiest sticks - not just any stick will do! (We still haven't done Christmas with my family, due to a snowstorm Christmas day, then illness and scheduling concerns ... but we will New Year's Day!) The funny thing was one spring he got her a bunch of pussy-willows, and she would NOT eat them - until I tried stripping of the "catkins," that is. I guess this bunny won't eat anything small and "FURRY" - TOO MUCH LIKE CANNIBALISM?
