Rabbit Enrichment

Rabbits are very hyperactive pets that need to be stimulated very frequently. Without stimulation, they are likely to be destructive and start to chew on anything they can find. Rabbits love having the space to run around and the freedom to play with a diverse set of toys. Some common favorites are:

 

Baby Stacking Cups

Oftentimes, stacking cups can be used by rabbits to keep their minds active. By hiding a treat in the bottom cup, rabbits will unstack the cups with their mouth until they get to the bottom. However, some rabbits (my rabbit, Muna) will just dig at the cups till they all fall and the treat comes out.

DIY Digging Box I made

Digging Box

A digging box filled with newspaper will encourage a rabbit to utilize their natural foraging abilities. Filling a bin up with shredded newspaper and hiding treats can keep rabbits entertained for hours. But keep in mind, they may think it’s a litter box. This is something you can make yourself, making it very cost-effective. And don’t worry rabbits are capable of digesting paper and cardboard, so if they eat it, don’t panic.

Hay or Treat Filled Toys

There are rabbit toys specifically made for them to interact with so they may access their food. It keeps them active and limits the amount of food they have access to to prevent obesity.


There are many more that rabbits can use and play with but these are my rabbit’s personal favorites.
