JOIN THE BUNNY TOY TEST!
Finding toys that bunnies actually spend time with is challenging. Let's discover what really works together. We'll introduce homemade toys (our ideas and yours!), and then we all score and discuss each toy in the Forum under the "Habitats and Toys" section.

"The Jellyfish"
Contributed by member: CowieCow
- Take a flat piece of cardboard (you can cut off one of the sides of an old box if you have one.). You can use a square shape, or cut a round, retangular, or triangle - whatever fits best for your situation.
- Poke a bunch of holes in the cardboard.
- Then take a newspaper pages out of your local and shred it into inch wide pieces going down, the long way. (NOTE: Most newspapers today use soy-based ink- safe for your rabbit, but check with your paper first).
- Take one of the ends of the shredded paper and twist it until it's thin enough to fit through the holes in the cardboard. Fill the all the holes until you have a little "jellyfish" like toy.
- Now you have to hang it - so put holes through the corners, or put three holes on the edge of a circle (equal distance apart) and use sisal or some other safe twine to string it through (remember to tie a knot at the bottom so it will hold the jellyfish up.
- Then tie the strings together at the top and hang it in a doorway or somewhere low to the ground where your bunny can chew and run through the "curtain".
My rabbit loved this, I made it about a month ago and she's still playing with it. The best part is, once all the paper is pulled and ripped off you can just rethread it and it's brand new again.
