Playtime
Toys are important to keep your bunny occupied and prevent destroy to your home:
These are normal, natural and very pleasant activities for a bunny. Rabbits teeth and toenails grow continuously so your bunny needs to chew and dig to keep them trimmed. To prevent excessive destroy to your home, offer your rabbit acceptable chewing and shredding materials; e.g. newspapers or yellow pages, plain cardboard boxes, untreated wicker, and apple tree branches. A box flled with hay is often an thrilling plaything for a rabbit, as well as nourishing. Phone and electrical cords ought to be shielded from bunnys teeth or they may be electrocuted. Clear plastic tubing may be bought in the plumbing aisle of your ironmongery shop. Split it lengthwise and then wrap it around the cord. Neutering your rabbit and providing fascinating activities will help reduce destructive behavior.
Again, adult rabbits are less destructive than juveniles.
