The brands that I trust

When it comes to choosing toys for your pet rabbit, I always recommend sticking with brands and products made specifically for small animals. Many mainstream pet toy manufacturers cater to dogs and cats, and their products may not be safe for delicate rabbit teeth and digestive systems. Over the years, I've identified several top-notch rabbit toy brands that I trust to provide safe, engaging, and long-lasting enrichment for bunnies. Here are my top recommendations:

Small Pet Select is hands-down my favorite source for high-quality rabbit toys. This small business was founded by rabbit lovers and takes great care to select materials that are non-toxic and safe if ingested. Their toys stimulate natural foraging behaviors and stand up well to heavy chewing. I've also found their customer service to be extremely helpful.

Oxbow creates enrichment products designed specifically for rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small pets. They use timothy hay, natural wood, and paper in their toys. Oxbow is especially known for their premium timothy hay products. I use their toys as safe foraging activities.

Bunny Blast is a top name in handmade, interactive rabbit toys. They use child-safe dyes and interesting materials like seagrass and loofah to create unique, engaging toys. I especially love their focus on promoting healthy behaviors through play.

Ware Manufacturing produces affordable chew toys and houses from natural materials like wood and grass. Their products are easy to find in pet stores. I use their hanging chew toys and hay-filled logs to supplement toys from specialty brands.

Make Your Own! Simple homemade toys allow me to reuse household items in a safe, budget-friendly way. I make sure to use non-toxic glue and dyes when crafting my own toys. With a little creativity, you can provide your bunny with hours of play.

In general, I look for companies that specialize in small pet products, focus on natural materials, and promote exercise and mental stimulation. By sticking to these guiding principles, you can ensure that your rabbit has a great toy collection!

1. Small Pet Select Toy Hay Toys

Small Pet Select makes some of my all-time favorite foraging toys using compressed hay cubes. Rabbits have an inherent need to chew and gnaw regularly to wear down their ever-growing teeth. Chewing on hay is ideal to support dental health. These toys help focus that natural chewing instinct while providing a tasty, beneficial treat.

The Toy Hay Cubes are compacted hay in fun cube and ball shapes that rabbits can bat around and chew on. The texture naturally cleans teeth too. You can refill the cubes with fresh hay as your rabbit demolishes them! I like hiding the cubes around my rabbits' enclosure to stimulate searching and foraging.

For more novelty, Small Pet Select's Toy Hay Bin is shaped like an upside-down carrot. It has openings for filling with loose hay and compartments for tucking in hay cubes or snacks. The bin gives rabbits a puzzling challenge as they work to extract the tasty hay stuffed inside. Its bright orange color stands out, and the durable canvas material holds up to clawing and chewing.

Both of these hay cube toys provide hours of engaging play time and cut down on boredom and waste from excess hay. They allow rabbits to satisfy their need to chew while rewarding them with yummy timothy or orchard grass hay. The natural foraging play promotes healthy teeth and keeps digestive systems functioning normally. Small Pet Select uses quality hay and durable construction on all their hay toys.

2. Small Pet Select mobile toys

Rabbits love to play with toys they can hit, toss, roll, or move. Small Pet Select has an assortment of mobile toys made with enticing materials and delightfully quirky designs. These toys appeal to your rabbit's natural instincts to explore and manipulate objects in their environment. Plus, they contain interesting textures and materials to keep your pet engaged for hours.

Some of my favorites include the Push n' Play Cube and the Fling-A-ma-String. The Push n' Play Cube has cutouts your rabbit can toss, roll, and pick up with their teeth. Its durable canvas and crinkly material withstand rugged play. For more novelty, the Fling-a-ma-String is a hybrid between a slinky and chew toy. Your pet can grasp the handles and sling it around or curl up and chew on it.

Other great options from Small Pet Select include rattle balls with bells inside, a canvas chewing cube covered in textures and crinkle material, and tunnel tubes made from heavy woven fabric. Their toys are specifically sized for rabbits and made from thick, high-quality materials that stand up to repeated use. By providing objects for your rabbit to explore and manipulate, they satisfy natural behaviors and stay entertained in their habitat.

3. Slimcat treat ball

The Slimcat treat ball is an interactive feeding toy I love for rabbits. It has adjustable openings to drop your rabbit's food pellets or hay inside. As the ball rolls around, pellets fall out through the holes, rewarding your pet for playing. You can increase or decrease the opening size to make it easier or harder to dispense treats.

I like using the Slimcat ball for a fun alternative to a boring food bowl. It entices rabbits to push, roll, and chase the ball to earn their dry food. This encourages activity and engages their mind as they figure out how to get those yummy pellets! Start with a loosely closed opening so your rabbit can easily access treats, then make it more challenging over time.

The ball is made from non-toxic, BPA-free, pet-safe plastic. Its slim design rolls smoothly without getting stuck in corners. The material is rigid enough that nibbling rabbits won't easily break or destroy it. I supervise my rabbits when playing with the Slimcat ball and remove it if they try to chew off pieces. But they much prefer nudging it around for the tasty rewards inside!

Overall, this interactive treat ball makes dry food rationing more enjoyable while providing vital mental and physical stimulation. It's a great option for energetic, food-motivated rabbits who need an engaging feeding puzzle. I love the adjustable openings and sturdy design that stands up to exuberant bunny play.

4. Oxbow play wall

The Oxbow Play Wall is designed to attach securely to the side of a rabbit's enclosure using zip ties. It provides a fun focal point for interactive play and mental stimulation. This wall-mounted toy has pockets, windows, doors, tunnels, and accessories to keep your rabbit happily occupied.

I like how the play wall adds vertical space to use inside my rabbits' habitat. The dangling accessories entice them to stretch up and explore. I can rearrange and swap out the attachments to create new puzzles. My rabbits especially love nudging around the wood balls with bells inside!

The main play wall unit is made from durable canvas with mesh accents to allow visibility. There are attachment points all over to zip tie on accessories or hang chew toys. Oxbow makes extra add-ons like hidey holes, treat dispensers, and rattling noisemakers to expand the wall's play potential.

Setting up new puzzles on the play wall gives my rabbits a regular change of scenery without expanding their space. I see them interacting more with their environment, climbing and manipulating the accessories. The Play Wall provides hours of novelty, engagement, and activity for penned-in pets. It's an easy way to upgrade basic enclosures into mentally stimulating playgrounds!

5. Willow balls

Willow balls are natural chewing toys made from the willow tree. Rabbits love to sink their teeth into the bitter bark of willow branches, which is safe for them to gnaw and digest. Willow wood balls allow them to satisfy their instinctual chewing needs on a healthy, digestible surface.

These wooden balls have then been fashioned into circular shapes a few inches across – perfect for bunnies to grab and play with. Their paws can manipulate the ball around on the ground as they nibble with their chisel-like teeth. I like to give willow balls of various sizes to see which my rabbits prefer manhandling.

You can find untreated willow balls at most pet stores in the rabbit toy section. I recommend getting ones specifically made for small animal chewing to ensure there are no varnishes or chemicals. Make sure to monitor your pet while playing with any wood toys and remove pieces if they attempt to splinter off large chunks.

Willow balls are affordable chew toys that provide natural enrichment. They engage your rabbit's need to constantly chew while providing a safe, digestible outlet. Plus, rabbits just love the texture and light bitter flavor. I consider willow balls a rabbit toy essential to support healthy teeth and prevent destructive chewing in my home.

6. Stacking cups

A fun boredom buster I've discovered for rabbits is a simple set of plastic stacking cups – the kind you'd use for toddlers. Rabbits enjoy nudging these cups around, flipping them over, and trying to extract any treats tucked inside. The cups are light enough for bunnies to manipulate and sturdy enough to withstand chewing.

I start by showing my rabbits treats inside the cups to pique their interest. Then I'll stack the cups in little pyramids or columns and let my pets hop around until they scatter the cups across their play area. They have fun investigating and tossing the cups with their noses, paws, and teeth.

The stacking cups engage a rabbit's natural instinct to explore objects and hunt for food. Their bright colors and clacking noises help hold a rabbit's attention once piqued. I supervise playtime to ensure my rabbits don't attempt to shred and ingest the plastic. But overall, stacking cups make an inexpensive, interactive DIY toy.

You can find multi-colored cups with or without numbers and letters – either works! Just be sure to thoroughly wash them before allowing your rabbit access. Rotate similar toys in and out of your pet's space to keep things fresh and interesting. Stacking cups are one way to provide engaging enrichment on a budget.

7. Hiding Castle

One of my favorite interactive rabbit toys is Ware's Hiding Castle. This little grass hut has cut-out windows and openings for entry/exit points into the main chamber. It provides a cozy, enclosed space that makes rabbits feel secure. You can stuff the castle with hay to encourage burrowing and foraging.

I enjoy watching my rabbits take running starts to zoom in and out of the castle openings. Sometimes they peer out the windows like a king surveying his kingdom! The castle gives them a hiding spot to feel safe and an enclosed space to explore and play in.

The Hiding Castle also stimulates natural rabbit behaviors like burrowing, tunneling, and chewing. Its compressed hay construction allows for digging, clawing, and nibbling without quickly destroying the toy. Refilling it with fresh timothy or orchard grass hay keeps it engaging.

Between the fun hide-and-seek play, comforting security, and opportunities for chewing/digging enrichment, this is a great interactive toy for rabbits of all ages. I just monitor my more destructive chewers to ensure they don't rip off and ingest large pieces. Some light tearing won't hurt. Overall, the castle is an enriching addition to any rabbit habitat.

8. WARE hanging kabob

The WARE Hanging Kabob is a fun chew toy that adds activity to any rabbit's habitat. This dangling log is made from all-natural apple tree wood with holes drilled throughout. You can stuff the holes with timothy hay, herb sprigs, or snacks to encourage foraging. The kabob hangs from the top of the cage so rabbits must reach and stretch for it.

I like hanging the kabob in different spots to change up the landscape. My rabbits have to hunt around their enclosure searching for the tasty new toy. Then they can gnaw, nibble, and dig out its contents for a rewarding sensory experience. The dangling kabob engages a rabbit's instincts to forage and chew while providing environmental enrichment.

Apple wood is safe for gentle chewing, though I do monitor my most determined chewers. WARE recommends replacing the log after 1-2 months as needed. I love this hanging toy because it's affordable, easy to install in any habitat, and made from all-natural chew-safe wood. Plus the novelty of re-stuffing it with yummy filling keeps my rabbits excited at playtime!

9. Small Pet Select Hay cubes

Small Pet Select also makes great compressed hay cubes without any fillings – just pure timothy or orchard grass hay. These provide an ideal outlet for a rabbit's natural desire to chew. The cubes satisfy their instinct to constantly gnaw while delivering edible hay safely. As an added bonus, chewing the cubes helps grind down tooth growth and keep your rabbit's teeth aligned.

The hay cubes come in fun cube and ball shapes that allow rabbits to pick them up, toss them around, and nibble to their heart's desire. I use the mini cube size which fits perfectly for a rabbit mouth. The hay is densely pressed but softens as rabbits chew away at it.

These plain hay cubes last longer than the filled toy versions, though they're less stimulating. I give my rabbits the filled cubes for mentally engaging playtime and unfilled cubes for having out all day to chew as needed. Having an acceptable outlet prevents destructive chewing of unsafe items in their environment.

Hay cubes provide the physical sensation rabbits crave of sinking their teeth into something fibrous. Small Pet Select uses only edible, non-toxic adhesives in their handmade cubes. Supervise your pet to prevent excessive ingestion and intestinal blockage. But overall, hay cubes are a healthy way to promote rabbit chewing behaviors.

10. Small Pet Select Fidget Sticks

Small Pet Select's Fidget Sticks provide interactive chewing enrichment for rabbits. These wood sticks have interesting textures carved into the surface, ridges, and notches across the long sides. Rabbits can grasp the lightweight sticks in their teeth and fling them around or hold one end still to chew.

I like watching my rabbits nibble along the length of the sticks, feeling the grooves with their ever-growing incisors. The textures make chewing more interesting and engaging. Plus, the sticks are made from completely organic, untreated wood harvested from apple and willow trees. So they're safe for digging teeth into.

The Fidget Sticks come in a set of 3, so you can rotate new pieces in as your rabbits wear them down. I find they last 1-2 months with moderate use before needing replacement. Always supervise your pet with any wood chew and discard pieces if large chunks separate.

These textured wood sticks provide functional chewing enrichment to satisfy a rabbit's gnawing instinct and dental upkeep. The light wood lets them fling and play with the sticks too. It's an affordable interactive chew toy to stimulate healthy rabbit behaviors.

11. Cardboard treat toys

Cardboard makes a simple, safe chew material to occupy restless rabbit teeth. You can find some pre-made cardboard rabbit toys at pet stores, or easily DIY your own with household boxes and toilet paper tubes. Look for plain, untreated cardboard with no dyes, inks, or plastics.

I like to make little treat puzzles from cardboard. Cut holes in the sides of a box and stuff veggies or hay inside. Fold and pin tubes into shapes with holes and compartments. My rabbits nibble, dig, and forage to extract all the goodies inside. These toys engage their minds and satisfy chewing urges.

For free play, flatten cardboard boxes so your rabbit can crawl inside or shred apart. Mine love tearing into the layers and tossing the pieces. Just be sure to remove any staples, tape, or plastic first. Simple cardboard boxes provide security, chewing fun, and hiding spots during play.

You can add variety by sprinkling spices into boredom breaker toys. I sniff test small amounts of cinnamon, paprika, or dried herbs to make sure they're bunny-safe. A touch of new scent really increases your rabbit's interest in a familiar cardboard toy. Get creative with household cardboard for cheap chewing enrichment.

12. Hideaway Tunnel

An easy way to spice up your rabbit's habitat is by adding tunnels for them to hide and zoom through. Ware's Hideaway Tunnel connects to hutches, pens, and cages to expand play spaces. It provides a cozy spot for privacy and adventures for curious rabbits.

The tunnel is made of polypropylene and flexes to bend and curve across your rabbit's living space. They'll love racing in and out of the hallway-like tube or just relaxing alone inside. You can stuff the tunnel with hay or treats to inspire foraging. It's a simple upgrade that makes playtime more exciting.

I recommend getting a tunnel diameter suited for your rabbit's size so they can easily fit inside. Make sure to secure it firmly to the habitat so it doesn't shift or droop when inhabited. Watch for chewing rabbits who may decide to nibble through the thin plastic.

Tunnels engage a rabbit's natural instinct to burrow while providing physical and mental enrichment. They explore new spaces, race back and forth, or just enjoy the dark privacy. Expand your rabbit's world with a connective tunnel tube!

13. Rabbit castle

Rabbits love enclosed spaces that make them feel safe and secure. A fun addition to any rabbit pen is a decorative castle for hiding, lounging, and playing. Ware Manufacturing makes a natural-looking Hideout Rabbit Castle from woven straw that my rabbits adore.

This little cottage has a roof, windows, and front opening so rabbits can hop in and out at will. Inside is enough room for my medium-sized bun to spin around, flop over, and hunker down for naps. It's cozy and comforting.

I'll often stuff the castle with hay or treats to inspire foraging. My rabbits dig through the hay and nibble away at the woven walls. The castle interior becomes a destructive paradise! The natural straw material is safe for light chewing.

Having a covered shelter caters to a rabbit's instinct to burrow and take cover. The castle in their habitat becomes a favorite retreat at playtime or just for relaxing alone.
