mrmac's videos are playing fine for me, try again! They are so cute! I made the same toy again but with dandelions inside, it was a bigger hit.

I have a new challenge for the toy test: someone make a toy that Sarita's Pepe will care for. (Is it possible?)

OMG! A toy with dandies!!! That would be heaven! Will have to try that one!

Dennis had so much fun with the toy! It was funny to sit and watch him go nuts!

LOL - good luck with that! I don't ever think he's played with anything. He loves to run and he loves to be petted and he loves to bite.

I can tell you what he does play with now that I think of it - I'm really not sure if it's play or something else though...he jumps on the bed (when I've pulled the comforter down, won't get on the slippery comforter), and then digs on the mattress and digs on the pillow and pulls up the pillow with his teeth - kind of an aggressive playfulness.

OK, then. Pepe in Sarita's avatar likes :
digging
sinking teeth into things
does not care for regular toys...

I suggest a very large size thing... the problem is, how will we test it out on him???

But he loves Craisins :~)

I'm thinking he might like a trampoline. Because he likes to jump on the bed about 2 or 3 times a night which is why I never can sleep good, I have to wear a suit of armor in case he decides to bite me, which is all the time.

a bunny trampoline with craisins... just impossible!

oh, I know: he'd love a mini hay bale with a reservoir of craisins hidden in the center. He would have to eat his hay way to the stash!

Where can balsa wood chews be purchased? Also, what is used to hold down the wood in a cup?

Brittany, the BB store sells balsa wood chews.

I do wonder if the chews would get moldy though just putting them in grape juice - the lady who makes them for the BB store has done alot of testing and stuff on hers.

Petzy, don't worry, I won't put Pepe in the tub, but I will let him attack me to get to his craisins - he thinks that's fun.

I guess I do amuse him LOL. I think he likes the interaction even if he is acting aggressively. I guess it gets him the attention. But he's not always aggressive, he loves to lounge around too.

He's always been very aggressive. I know he's just protecting himself - he knows I'm not going to hurt him, but it's just how he reacts.

Animals enjoy "aggressive" behaviors as sport, too, I believe.

I got the balsa wood at a craft store. I got it at Michael's, it came in strips and i had to chop them with a saw. I held the wood down with a plastic cup to tell you the truth because I soaked it in a tuppaware container, but if you are using a cup to soak the wood then you could use a smaller cup if possible or just anything that is heavy that will fit in the cup and push the balsa wood down and won't leach anything bad into the juice.

I do wonder if the chews would get moldy though just putting them in grape juice


I was worried about that too but if they are properly dried they don't seem to go moldy at all. And I checked thoroughly for any weird colored specks. The orange juice ones went moldy for some reason or another but the grape juice ones seemed fine both when they were cooked and when they weren't.

One toy that I found somewhere (it might have been on this site) was the Idea to cut holes in the sides of a toilet paper roll and stick paper into it so it goes through one hole into the middle and then through another hole on the other side- the paper goes all the way through. and do that muiltiple places on the tube. I thought it was a good Idea and my bunnies liked it!

Here's a toy Mr. Bunny loves:

note: 1/2 inch=1 cm

1. Take an old round carboard oatmeal container (like this). Usually, I like using the smaller (around 18oz) containers, since they create more of a challenge for the bunny, but any size will work.

2. Remove the top. Cut a few 1/4 to 1/2 inch holes near the bottom of the container and a few near the top. Cut one 1/2 to 3/4 inch hole on the bottom of the container.

3. Fill about 1/2 an inch of the bottom of the container with oats, barley (if you like) and dry pellets. Throw in a few pieces of dried fruit or store-bought dry treats.

4. Fill the rest of the container with small strands of timothy hay. Every handful or two, sprinkle a few pellets and oats of top of the hay. Once the container is almost full, give the stuffed container to your bunny.

5. If your bunny isn't sure what to do with it, encourage them to sniff the holes at the bottom of the container or just sprinkle some extra pellets at the open end of the container.

I'll post a few pics or a video of Mr. Bunny playing with this toy the next time I make one for him.

Here comes Mr. Bunny-tail, hoppin' down the rabby trail.

And then comes in a Rabby-girl, hoppin' down the bunny
trail. Hippity hoppity, binkitty floppity, Rabby's on her way.

ok, so heres my toy idea..
(you wanted us to post them here right? i skipped half the first page and all of the second)

what you need:
-sisal string
-your bun's favorite greens
-a hand full of hay
-something VERY colourful and sefe for your buns to play with
-2 toilet paper rolls
-and a bunny.

1) string items in this order: Toilet paper roll, colourful toy, toilet paper roll
2) stuff toilet paper rolls with "the goods"
3) hang (like a clothes line) just above your bunny (s) heads.
4) place bunny under string
5) sit back and enjoy.

*option: you can also hang newspaper or blankets or somethings for them to run underneith of.. mine enjoy running through blankets*

I WILL POST PICS TOMORROW (i havent taken any pics of this toy idea yet )

My Siamese Sweethearts, Hershey & Twix........... <3 And In My Attempted Un-selfish Thoughts I Find Myself Thinking... If This Is The Best I Can Do With Just My Thoughts, Than What Is The Best That Can Be Done By Someone Who Has Not Only my Thoughts But The Chance To Make Them A Reality?

  Sarita, this gave me visions of you waking in the night with a bunny sailing past your nose.  "Weeeeee.........."  He could get up to a good height from a trampoline. 

Pepe might like a bean bag. I had one that Jersey used to spend ages pushing, digging at & burrowing into.  She also nibbled at the cover so I had 2 layers with the outer one being a tougher fabric. Both she and Rumball would nestle in it but then they began to mark it and it was all over then.

I survived the BB site update 2012

Well it is similar except there is no hay in the middle and the paper is more scrunched (there is more paper fit into one hole).

Anyone have a home-made toy idea to share? I am thinking mocha is just being polite, waiting for other members to have a turn...
