There are many bunny-safe toys to purchase, and you can also make inexpensive DIY rabbit toys. Below is a list of rabbit toys (do-it-yourself options and toys you can buy) that will keep your rabbits from getting bored and bring bunny fun into their lives.

Pet bunny toy tips

A couple pointers: Most toys that are safe for parrots are also safe for rabbits. Please don’t buy or use anything treated with preservatives or chemicals. Keep bunny toys clean with mild soap and water, and replace or change the toys often to keep your rabbit entertained.

Fun and safe toys for rabbits

Here are some common kinds of toys that rabbits like:

Straw or wicker baskets
Straw placemats and rugs
Paper towel or toilet paper rolls (You can stuff these with hay for extra fun.)
Large brown paper grocery bags (These are a fun place for bunnies to hide.)
Rings with bells, such as a parrot toy or a Mason jar cover ring with a large bell attached using a key ring
Most sturdy hanging parrot toys
Whisk brooms (You can attach these to the cage or run.)
Maze-type balls with a bell in the center (Make sure they are sturdy and not constructed of thin plastic.)
Wooden clothespins (You can soak these in apple or cranberry juice to create a tasty chew.)
Chunks of untreated wood (Avoid the cedars and aromatics.)
Cardboard boxes with holes or doors cut into them
PVC tubes (6 inches in diameter), cut into 3- to 4-foot lengths for tunnels (You can also use heavy cardboard tubes. Both can be found at home improvement stores.)
Cylinder-shaped cardboard boxes, such as a rolled oat box, with the ends cut off
Baby toys: sturdy, hard plastic “keys,” telephone rattles, etc.
Newspaper (but not the colored inserts)
Towels and blankets (Rabbits love to rearrange them.)
Platforms, small ramps, or large blocks that the rabbits can jump up on
A house or tunnel made of straw bales
Shallow sandboxes or small kids’ plastic pools ﬁlled with dirt for digging

There are also many wonderful and safe rabbit toys sold online. A recommended site is BinkyBunny.

Be our Best Friend

Best Friends Animal Society is working with you to save the lives of cats and dogs all across the country, giving pets second chances and happy homes.

Just a few short years ago, cats and dogs were killed in staggering numbers in this country simply because shelters didn't have the community support or the resources to save their lives. That number is now less that half a million per year, but there's still work to do to ensure a bright future for every dog and cat in America.

Best Friends operates the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals and is committed to saving the lives of homeless pets by working with shelters and passionate people like you. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill in 2025. Together, we will Save Them All.
