What to Look For
A few questions came to mind when searching for the best rabbit toys. Is the toy fun for your rabbit to play with? Is it safe, non-toxic, and made well enough to withstand many bunny playtime sessions? There were a few rabbit toys we decided we’d let into our burrow any day of the week. Our favorite set was the Lacrima option, thanks to its variety of options and dedication to dental health. We also adored Blu & Ben’s toys, which include hooks for hanging up and passing the time in the cage. Keep reading to see what other rabbit toys will have your bunny hopping with delight.
Lacrima 12-Piece Rabbit Chew Toys
Healthy and fun
This dental-friendly playset was our top pick among the rabbit toys we looked at. Crafted from fibrous hay grass, these toys can not only be chewed on at leisure but swallowed as well without any risk to your rabbit’s safety. They’re small enough for any bunny to get their jaws around without creating a choking hazard. Anyone looking for a good set of rabbit toys for their cotton-tailed pal will be happy to have these.
Pros
- There’s a variety of textures among the rabbit toys, making them suitable for rabbits with different tastes.
- They can also be given to other small pets, like gerbils and hamsters.
- They’re very inexpensive compared to many rabbit toys.
Cons
- The average bunny tends to go through these toys pretty quickly.
Pweituoet Handmade Rabbit Chew Toys
Plenty of choices
Rabbit toys should come with plenty of variety, and this set definitely delivers. Each pack comes with between six and 14 toys depending on your preference, all of which are handmade and glue-free. Plus, their hangers make them great toys to bat around from the ceiling or wall of your rabbits’ cage. We love the variety of this set, and we think your rabbit will too.
Pros
- The toys are durably made, many of which will last a good while.
- Each set is varied enough to let you observe which ones your rabbit enjoys most, then order more replacements accordingly.
Cons
- While nontoxic, the dye on the carrot sticks isn’t made from natural materials.
Blu & Ben Natural Rabbit Toys
Hang it up
Good rabbit toys should have a place in the living room as well as the cage, just like these ones do. These healthy treats can be hung from the side of the cage, letting your bunny nosh throughout the day. The inclusion of sweet bamboo sticks sets these toys apart, but the perennial favorites, carrot sticks and hay balls, are also included. For nutritious fun in the cage, these rabbit toys can’t be topped.
Pros
- The bamboo sticks are harder than the average toy, making them great for heavy chewers.
- All of these toys are excellent for dental as well as digestive health.
Cons
- Some of the vegetable toys are held together with glue.
Andwe Activity Ball Rabbit Toys
They'll have a ball
These balls are some of the most fun and versatile rabbit toys we examined. Like most rabbit toys, they’re perfectly safe to chew on and digest, but they’re also large enough to roll around and engage in vigorous playtime with. They can also open up to hold treats, which will make your bunny even more excited to bat it around. These rabbit toys are as close as you can get to a full-blown game of bunny soccer.
Pros
- Due to their size and consistency, they’re much longer-lasting than most rabbit toys.
- They’re a great value considering how many balls come in each pack and how durable and layered each one is.
Cons
- These balls can produce an unpleasant odor if they get wet.
Hamiledyi Rattan Climbing Tree Rabbit Toy
The giving tree
Just as cats love a good scratching post, rabbit toys can also function as a type of bunny clubhouse. That’s certainly the case for this tree, which is made from a chewable seagrass and corn leaf mixture and features branches for hanging toys from. And when it’s time for sleep, the tree can be easily taken apart and stored away. This is one of the best rabbit toys for giving your bunny a great place to play.
Pros
- The base is deep and can serve either as a run, a feeder, or a nice place to nap.
- Other small animals, like hamsters and cats, can have a lot of fun with this tree as well.
Cons
- Parts of the tree are held together by glue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best materials for rabbit toys?
It’s best to avoid plastic when possible since plenty of rabbit toys are made from safe, all-natural materials like hay, grass, and carrot sticks. And while it can be difficult to avoid, check to see if the rabbit toys you have your eye on are bound using organic methods as well, and avoid synthetic chemicals as binding agents.
What if my bunny doesn’t like their rabbit toys?
It can be difficult to know whether any given rabbit is going to take to a certain toy or not. Fortunately, the majority of rabbit toys come with multiple options for both the style and consistency of material, so if one option doesn’t work, try something that’s made from a different product.
