Top 5 Reasons Rabbits Love Toys:
***1. Rabbits NEED to Chew
Because of Their Constantly Growing Teeth, Rabbits Will Seek Out Items to Chew on. If you do not give your rabbit something to chew, he will FIND something to chew on, and you may not always agree with his choice! Chewing satisfies both physical and psychological urges by exercising a rabbits jaws and by occupying his mind.
***2. Toys Provide Exercise for Pudgy Bunnies
Domestic rabbits do not have to run from predators, search for food, or dig burrows like their wild cousins. So they do not get the amount of exercise they require unless encouraged to do so with toys. Sedentary rabbits can quickly become obese rabbits! Remember too, exercise includes plenty of out of cage time.
***3. Toys Can Relieve Any Boredom Your Rabbit may Experience
Again, rabbits in the wild are always busy, many rabbits in captivity can become bored when their environment is not enriched with toys. A rabbit left in his cage with nothing to do may even become depressed
***4. Toys Reduce Your Rabbits Stress
Let's face it, this world is stressful to us as well! So imagine how stressful it is for a little bunny who has to learn to adjust to indoor life, get used to the other pets in the house, learn what can be chewed on and what can't, and all the while making sure everyone knows where his territory is. It's a rough life! But, again, toys come to the rescue. There is no better way to let little bunny aggressions out than on a defenseless toy!
***5. Toys Give Your Rabbit the Opportunity to Interact with YOU!
You are a very important figure in your rabbits life. He views you as one of his own and wants to play with you like one of his own.
A game of keep away is always fun as well as hiding the toys in various places in the house for the bunny to find. You may even get your bunny engaged in a Game of Fetch!
