Peter Rabbit

Exercise is essential for healthy rabbits, and they love to play! But that doesn’t mean you have to run out and buy expensive equipment or toys. Instead, try some of these cheap and/or homemade options, which most rabbits love.

Toys

A box of hay or shredded paper can be great fun for bunnies, who naturally love to dig.

Bunnies love playing with paper-towel tubes, especially when they are filled with grass hay.

Cardboard boxes or paper bags with rabbit-sized cutouts can keep your pet amused for long periods of time.

Pinecones (without any pesticides or paint on them) are great for rabbits to play with and even chew on.

Old blankets or towels will be fun for your rabbit, and then double as bedding for your bunny when he gets sleepy.

Dog chew toys or small wire balls (a common cat toy) can be great sources of entertainment for your rabbit.

Rubber balls (the kinds humans play with) are a fun option.

Can You Teach Your Rabbit Tricks?

While rabbits are very smart and can learn how to be litter box trained, that does not necessarily mean that you should try to teach your bunny tricks. Rabbits are unlike dogs in that they won’t want to act a certain way in order to please you. They are social creatures, but they also want some time alone, and they are not going to be “on call” for you.

However, that is not to say that rabbits won’t do tricks. They are very playfully and will often do funny body movements and act in ways that seem amusing. They can often seem to be hamming it up in order to cheer up or amuse their owner.

It is best to enjoy these little self-motivated tricks rather than to force a rabbit to perform for you.
