DIY Rabbit Toy

Being a breeder it can get pretty expensive to buy all of our rabbits toys on a consistent basis. I will be posting more DIY rabbit toys to our blog to help reduce your costs as well! There are some really fancy rabbit toys out there on the market that some of our rabbits could honestly care less about. But sometimes, it's the almost free toys that get the job done and they even last longer! So here is a fun one... start saving those toilet paper rolls!

Step 1. Collect your supplies!

Items you'll need:
  • Toilet paper roll
  • Scissors
  • 3 sticks that are non toxic to rabbits
  • A handful of hay

Step 2. Cut Holes In The Toilet Paper Roll!

Carefully with your scissors cut 3 holes on opposite sides of the toilet paper roll so that when you stick one of the sticks through, it will go through both holes.

Step 3. Shove hay into the toilet paper roll. The fuller the better!

If you have a rabbit that is picky about eating hay, try to make one of these fun toys to spice things up for them! It may encourage them to eat the hay more often!

Step 4. Stick one stick through to each hole to complete!

If you packed your toilet paper roll tight, it may be a little harder to stick the sticks through to the other side. Just wiggle them and twist them until they go through!

Completed!

I think your idea of this cheap toy is very cute! I'm thinking about do the same one for my big blue vienna rabbit. But i'm not sure if its to dangerous, because he eats everything and i'm afraid that he could get digestive problems because of the toilet paper roll. Do your rabbits eat it?

Hi Lucy!

It's actually ok for rabbits to consume cardboard! Although you definitely want to limit the amount he is eating because too much is not good for them. Some of our rabbits do eat the cardboard and I've noticed that adding the sticks through it has helped slow them down consuming it.
