I have read how important it is to give bunnies mental stimultion, such as toys. I have provided different toys such as, balls, cardboard rings, toilet paper tubes filled with hay, hard baby teething rings/keys. And they just don't seem to be into any of it. Before I invest in any kind of toy, I'd like to have any suggestions on what to buy that they might be interested in!

Cardboard Boxes    newspaper    phonebooks.     The best most fav   is the cardboard box  and the willow and balsa chews.

I dont' waste my $ on store bought toys for them.   I order online.  

The store bought toys just don't get it.

Pepper has ignored virtually every "toy" I ever bought for her.  But by watching what she likes to do I came up with some things she likes.

1) She's very "project-oriented", so I will keep large cardboard boxes and cut doorways in them to make hidey-runs.  Sometimes I tape a couple together.  I purposely cut the doorways a little too small so that she can "remodel" then to her heart's content.  I also sometimes stuff crumpled paper inside (so that she can re-arrange or dig) or put some large apple branches through (so that she can work through/around them)

2) She likes anything that smells like food, so empty boxes and containers get tossed on the floor for a day or so.  Last night she spent nearly 45 minutes trying to get to the last couple of crumbs in the bottom of a bag that used to hold amaretto cookies - it was hilarious!  Apparently the boxes that used to hold green tea or oatmeal are also especially appealing.

3) She likes to have things arranged just so, so sometimes I push lightweight things up against the wall so that she will want to move them to suit herself.  These need to be things that can be chewed or damaged, like a stack of catalogs or a large box.  Gives her something to do.

That ribbon thing sounds great. 

I got some small free priority mail boxes at the post office (about VHS tape size) and stuffed some fresh hay, a couple of raisins and a small dab of peanut butter inside while assembling it.  Then I poked and cut some small holes in it and "accidentally" left if on the floor.  (She likes things much better if she thinks she's getting away with something).  That kept her occupied for DAYS.  Granted it made a bit of a mess on the carpet but it was well worth it in giggles.
