The growling…is she spayed?

Some bunnies like to play differently -I bet layla would like things to play IN rather then WITH. You could try the ‘maze haven’, ‘cat condos’ and tunnels and I bet she’d have a blast!

I am amazed how long my buns can sit and “meditate” – it must be a prey thing!

I am also still trying to figure out how my buns like to “play”. They will play with something for a day or so and then never touch it again!

Mostly Winston also likes to run around, and Kay likes “toss” toys, like a slinky.

But a tunnel – oh, my – neither one of them can resist a tunnel! Heck even if I sit on the floor with my knees up – they have to run through! They will also sit inside a cardboard tunnel all day long. Good times!

okay, there were two threads going so i moved this over here.

here’s my response from the other thread:

it’s important to know how bunnies play.  sometimes they only like to do a certain thing, sometimes they combine parts of everything into their repertoire.  this article from the HRS does a great job at explaining the different types of play  http://www.rabbit.org/journal/3-6/chew-stick.html

i think that if she’s not interested in one thing, try something else.  there are almost endless possibilities of what you can find or buy to keep them interested.  BinkyBunny has great toys that promote healthy chewing like the willow items.  there’s the MazeHaven (which is AWESOME!)  but there are things you can do yourself too.  sometimes a bunny has to see something for awhile before they will explore it. 

don’t give up on her.  find what she likes.  this forum has great ideas of what other people have done for toys too.

this is a good point.  i don’t remember if she’s spayed or not.  she might be more annoyed by the attempts to play if her hormones are in the way and that could be showing itself as aggression.
