safe toys?

Hi,
I recently had one of my buns pass away. His companion bun is now by
himself, a 7 1/2 year male. He seems to be holding up okay , eating etc. I
am hesitant to get another bun, figuring even though he wasn't the
aggressive one they might not get along..( any ideas here?). plus not sure
with his age how long he will be around, then I will be playing "add- a-
bun" on and on.. I would welcome some ideas for safe toys to keep him
entertained, so far I have just given them apple branches to chew on, or a
few maple leafs with branches, salt/mineral wheels. Thanks so much, katy

I meant to add, they had tp rolls , little tin cans, boxes to play with. I
heard balls were good but wasn't sure about gnawing on rubber , or if they
could chop thru plastic and choke..

Try an old phone book, people here have reported they can be a favorite.

Toby doesn't play with toys much, he considers the dog and cat to be
his playthings.

I thought I read that those salt wheels weren't so good for rabbits. I
could be wrong, though.

Anyway, our rabbits' favourites:

--a long narrow cardboard box (as a tunnel)
--other cardboard boxes (as a burrow/chew toy)
--paper shopping bags (same)
--seagrass mats (chew toy)
--baby keys (toss toy)
--towels (universal--be sure to monitor if they're ingesting any)
--the baby gate (Tina loves chewing on it, Jonesy marks where Tina
chews)
--phone books (noisy chew toy)
--if you home is new (no lead paint), your baseboards

thx so much! is the tape okay on the bottom of a cardboard box, or do you
pull it off and just fold it shut

Toby doesn't go for the baseboards, but did go for the unpainted
drywall behind them when I was replacing in the dining room recently.

Mmmm... gypsum.

ditto what dave said.

long time no see dave. how's toby doing?

mickey

You remove the tape and then tuck each corner of the flaps under the next one
so that it holds its self closed, each of the four flaps has one corner under
and one corner over, I will put up a pic of how to do it if needed

What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?

Is there another word for synonym?

Same old. He's well behaved, likes playing with the dog and trying to
sneak up onto the couch to eat my houseplants, and running around the
back yard. His new favorite spot is in the raspberries.

Shedding like crazy right now.

One of my buns, Sami, will play with just about everything. He loves
his towel, loves his sisal toss toys, and has great fun tossing around
the metal bowl we try to put under the water bottle to catch drips.
Said bowl usually ends up anywhere but near the water bottle of course.
But i think his favorite are the colored plastic rings hanging from
the top of his cage. They are meant as bird toys, but he has a great
time d\chewing and shaking and making noise with them. I just bought a
larger sturdier version of those rings, with a bell on the bottom, for
my other bun, and he spent the whole night playing with them. I find
alot of the more sturdy bird toys are great for bunnnies, specially the
noisy ones!
