        Hey everyone, when I first got my rabbit Yogi, I was told he was a calm relaxed bunny and doesn’t really get into trouble. Once I got him I ordered a new cage for him which the bottom part of the cage was = fabric. 

        I got this cage in mid-April and it cost me about 40 bucks but, he has destroyed it and I don’t really like it since it’s ripped, he also likes ripping up his bathroom side which is full of newspaper. I wanted to invest in a cage that had a bottom where the poo and pee would go down and I could have an easy cleanup, but I think I’m going to invest in a separate litterbox for him. 

        Either way, the cage I am getting him is about the size I own now, a bit slimmer but taller. It’s made out of plastic, I also wanted to get him a playpen in which I build his cage to leave the front wide open and keep the tall playpen for him. 

        I also wanted to get him some blankets and stuff but it’s really hot here. I also don’t have a lot of room since I do keep him in my room and I’m an artist so I keep a desk for artist supplies. I’m going to have to rearrange my room in a way that the playpen can fit.

        Anyways if there are any products that you guys use for your rabbits let me know because I want to get him a few toys but he’s really picky.

          My bunny loves any hanging toy. He also loves tunnels a good tunnel is a cat tunnel from the dollar store. He also loves hay and wooden stick balls with bells or stuff inside them. He’s not to fond of wood, or paper towel rolls which sucks since there cheap.

            Litter box is probably the way to go, especially once you add the play pen on. Since he likes to rip up the fabric, seems like he likes to shred and dig! You can try phone books, newspaper stuffed in paper towel tubes, or just plain old cardboard boxes. If you turn the box into a hideout by cutting a few holes in the sides, he may like to “remodel” it. You can also stuff a box with paper and let him tunnel and shred inside. Try hiding his pellets in the paper to make it more fun for him. Mine also like to reshape and “dig” at cardboard cat scratchers. Animals play in ways that help exercise instinctive behaviors, so for bunnies that is often digging and chewing, which means the best toys are often cheap or free.  

            Fleece blankets can also be “dug” in and pushed around, even if it’s hot he may still enjoy pushing them around, just make sure he’s not actually eating them. 

            Mine also like to chew willow branches, and MUCH prefer fresh ones over store bought. 

            You might also see if he likes noisy toys. Mine love throwing around a tiny cowbell, and also would play “catch” with cat “batta balls” with the little bell in them (but I only let them play with those when supervised).
