Best Bunny Toys for Enrichment

Rabbits are intelligent, curious, and playful animals. Just like dogs and cats, they need regular mental and physical stimulation to stay healthy and content. Without the right enrichment, boredom can lead to destructive behaviour and stress. That’s where bunny toys come in.

At Twigs & Burrows, we believe playtime should be safe, natural, and enriching for every rabbit. From chew toys to tunnels, the right toys support your bunny’s wellbeing while keeping them entertained.

Why Toys Are Important for Bunnies

Providing toys for your rabbit isn’t just about fun — it’s about supporting their natural instincts:

Chewing: Rabbits’ teeth grow continuously, and chew toys help keep them in good condition.
Digging and shredding: Toys give them safe ways to satisfy these natural behaviours.
Exploration and play: Toys provide mental stimulation, helping to prevent boredom.

A toy is more than just entertainment. It’s a tool for stress relief, dental health, and overall happiness.

Types of Toys for Bunnies

Every rabbit is different, so it’s worth offering a variety of toys to discover what your bunny enjoys most.

Chew Toys

Chewing is essential for rabbits, and providing safe options can prevent furniture damage and dental problems. Popular choices include:

Wooden Roll 'n' Chew – A simple, safe way to keep teeth healthy while your bunny has fun rolling and gnawing.
Heart & Hoop Gnaw – Natural wooden shapes that encourage chewing and play.
Fir Tree Gnaw – A festive-looking chew that doubles as enrichment and décor.

Chew toys also help reduce stress and give rabbits a satisfying way to exercise their jaws.

Forage Toys

In the wild, rabbits spend hours foraging. Forage toys recreate this natural behaviour at home. They keep rabbits busy, encourage natural digging and sniffing, and prevent boredom. Examples include:

Snuffle Forage Mat – Perfect for hiding pellets or herbs, encouraging your rabbit to sniff and search.
Carrot Toy 'n' Treat Holder – A fun and practical way to combine play with a tasty reward.
Banana Leaf Carrot Stuffer – Fill it with hay or dried herbs for a healthy, engaging snack game.

Foraging toys are especially useful for rabbits who need mental stimulation during the day while you’re away.

Boredom Breakers

Some rabbits thrive on active play. Tunnels, rollers, and balls are great boredom breakers that keep them moving and engaged.

Sea Grass Tunnel – Encourages exploration and makes a cosy hideout.
Trio of Fun Balls (Medium) and Seagrass Fun Ball – Large – Great for rolling, nudging, and chewing.
Loofa Toss 'n' Treat Roller – A tossable toy that can also hold treats for extra fun.
Wacky Wobblers – Interactive toys that make playtime unpredictable and exciting.

For added comfort, enrichment isn’t just about toys. Products like the Chill 'n' Snooze Bed and Chill 'n' Chew Mat give your bunny a cosy place to rest after play.

DIY Bunny Toys

You don’t need to spend much to enrich your rabbit’s life. Cardboard boxes, cardboard tubes stuffed with hay, and paper bags can all make fantastic DIY toys. The key is ensuring materials are non-toxic and safe to chew.

Choosing Safe Toys for Your Bunny

When selecting toys for rabbits, safety always comes first:

Avoid plastics, painted woods, or anything with small detachable parts.
Choose natural materials like seagrass, banana leaf, untreated wood, and hay.
Always supervise new toys to make sure they’re being used safely.

By picking natural, chew-safe toys, you’ll give your rabbit hours of healthy entertainment.
