Hi, I have a giant french lop called Sebs he is a house rabbit and from a rescue. We got him to go with our other french and they did make a lovely couple sadly she had a heart problem and passed away. The problem i am finding is it seems to be getting harder and harder to find giant rabbit toys, wicker type balls he destroys within 30 mins lol, he has toilet rolls etc but i just wanted to get him something different.
Thanks

Make your own get a cereal box, tape up the ends and cut a few small holes in the side, pop some treats or just normal pellets in and let him throw it around and rip it up to get at the treats
Egg boxes with treats in are also great fun!

Hang his veg up - I have a group of 7 so they have a whole broccoli but will work with smaller ammounts - make it so he has to reach up a little to get it and so that it is in free space so it moves around, will keep him amused for an hour or so I would say
Kebab skewers hung up so they move are great to put apple or carrot onto

Plastic dog treat balls are also ideal for pellets, they chase them around like mad things!

Apple tree branches are a good alternative for him to chew on, or pear. They last longer than willow normally.

As a general rule, mine get "given" their food in the morning, they have to "work" for it in the evening!
What a horrible mummy I am!

can you hang stuff on normall string or does it have to be anything specal

I just use normal packaging or garden type string (white or green), they havn't as far as I can tell tried to eat it yet!
(you can see the green stuff in the sig pic above them)

Oh, and to add

Teething rings for babies (not water filled!) the "keys" type tend to go down well.
Plastic plant pots, any size they can throw.
The balls for cats (with the holes in) so they can push them or pick them up.
Paper bags are a winner aswell (primark type) or the empty food bag with just a little bit of food in!

If I see anything that I think will be ok, whether its dog, cat or human, I get it and try it

thanks i think ill have a go tomoz see what alvira thinks to hanging veg

Mine all have different approaches, most definately Mclaren and Kimba! Mclaren pushes it so it rests on his side and stops moving so he can eat it(clever bunny!) Kimba just chases it around until it rests up against someone else (not so clever but lucky!)

i cant wait to see what she does i bet she just looks at me and thinks what does she exspect me to do now

Hi, Thank you all for the replys i will be trying some of them out. We already buy baby toys for him lol. He has quite a few balls already. We did buy the ball on a rope for dogs but he destroyed it. Willow balls we buy quite a few every week as they don't last him more than an hour . I haven't found a play tunnel big enough for him yet but i am still looking and trying to find him a new wife it has been a year since Bunny passed. I am hoping one of the local rescues will soon have a suitable wife.

I keep thinking of hanging fruit/veg in my shed but then I think it must be torture for poor Rosie who would chase it around but not be able to get any because she has no front teeth. Its going to be something for the future for them I think and not whilst my old girl is with us, not nice to think about but she has so much wrong with her plus she's 8 I prepare for the worst every anaesthetic she has..
