        Hello,

        Looking for some feedback or direct experience, if you have any.

        I feel bad for my bun Flopsie because she can’t have nice things.  She will chew things and ingest them and in general cause herself harm.  I’ve tried to slowly expose her to things but she just can’t be left alone.  For example, anything made of cloth or carpet she will continue to bite and dig at.  As such, I am left with creating cardboard boxes and tunnels.  This has worked well, however, I can’t stop feeling bad as she gets bored of them same things easily, even though I try to rotate them in and out.

        I’ve also tried a plethora of store bought and home created toys or activities, but she always almost shows no interest in them.  At best, her curiosity will entice her for a few minutes, and then she is done.

        I’ve been wanting to get a few things that i’ve seen online, but I’ve hesitated to get them because they are quite pricey.  Today, I’m planning on buying this for 

        http://www.amazon.com/Carpet-Chewing-Digging-Station-Accessories/dp/B009ZGZE9M/ref=sr_1_2?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1438274594&sr=1-2&keywords=Timali+Pet+Rabbit+Toys

        the person sells this both on amazon and ebay.  Unfortunately, I have not bought it before because the shipping is quite high. Although I understand the reason for the high shipping cost, it still makes the final product a bit costly.  The item I have linked above is actually the cheapest of the 3 products that i’ve been eyeing.  The other two are:

        http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Activity-Zone-Rabbit-Toy/dp/B0067N74X0/ref=sr_1_6?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1438274594&sr=1-6&keywords=Timali+Pet+Rabbit+Toys

        http://www.amazon.com/Rabbit-Tunnel-X-Large-Deluxe/dp/B00BXPE7UK/ref=sr_1_4?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1438274594&sr=1-4&keywords=Timali+Pet+Rabbit+Toys

        also, i’m also considering this since its cheap(er) or relatively cheap

        http://www.amazon.com/The-Tree-Pet-Rabbit-Toy/dp/B0052Z3UMS/ref=pd_sim_sbs_199_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0BATHT3ZRMW7MP951ZC2

        i’ve seen pictures of people with these things, but I wanted to see if anyone has first hand experience.  Are these products worth it? Also, my concern is that my rabbit (hopefully) will destroy the sisal in a fit of happiness and give her something “productive” to do.  However, I was wondering if this is easily replaceable. Can I just go to the store and buy an sisal rope? Or is there specific untreated sisal that I need to look for.

        Any thoughts or feedback before I make the purchase would be greatly appreciated.

          I don’t know how much shipping would be, but Pets at Home sell this ‘dig box’ which Mr Roger loved (provided it was covered by a box) which is much cheaper than the one on the link. It looks pretty similar in style and they sell replacement carrots for the rabbit to throw away. The large one (which we had) doesn’t seem to be available for delivery, however, and the small one may be too small.

          http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/large-vegetable-play-patch

          It’s also available for delivery from: http://www.fynbuy.co.uk/large-vegetable-play-patch-74498-p.asp but I’ve never tried that website.

          (I promise I’m not connected to the sales of these items or Pets at Home, it’s just that there’s not many local pet shops near me and Mr Roger was so fussy with toys.)

            I’m no expert but the vet told me all Bunnies chew things, even those who are not a chewer will have a go at something at some point, its to keep their teeth down, Olly will chew everything in minutes, he does have toys he can chew on and really messed up one which was lovely, but he enjoys cardboard boxes, I won’t pay lots of money for a box all cut out with windows and doors, he likes boxes which are plain, no sticky tape, a hole to climb in, hide, chew it to how he wants it and hide his Hay Cookies in and eat them, it might not look pretty but he loves it, so we’re both happy with that.
            Rabbit tunnels are great, Olly has a green one which you pull out to the length needed and he loves it, it doesn’t matter if the toys are not pretty, as long as Bunny is happy, have you ever seen little children with a new toy at Christmas? The box the toy came in is the best thing, Bunnies are the same, they love boxes.
