I sometimes make a little tower out of toilet paper tubes and then my bunnies like to knock it down and run off with the tubes.
Oh that sounds so adorable!
Mine don’t seem at all interested in toilet paper tubes. I’ve tried stuffing them with hay, rolling them around on the floor… Bunnies probably get more entertainment watching Crazy Lady With the Toilet Paper Tubes than anything else

Olivia loves playing with toys during run-time. Her favourites are the coloured toddler stacking cups. I stack them up and she loves to knock them down and throw them. Sometimes I stash a little treat under one and she tries to find it. She also likes her plastic slinky. I also play a game with her using a deck of cards. I fan out the cards poker style and she pulls them out one by one until they are all scattered. We call this game “pick a card”. These are all really cheap toys compared to the price of bunny-specific toys.
My boys aren’t into toys as much. They love their Cottontail Cottage though. I also bought a “Crazy Curly Tunnel” from Toys R Us. It was a bit pricey but they all adore it. You can stretch it out into different sizes and shapes. The fun they get out of it is worth the price!

Haha Beka.
Lady plays with a soccer ball, she runs around the room pushing it with her nose. She tears up some cardboard, I bought a cardboard cement form that she loves as a tunnel, and she gnaws on that a little. Oh, and she loves to make a huge ruckus and charge through the window blinds, crazy bun.
Samson is a little odd I think, she wont even tear up cardboard or a phone books. Her pen is pretty much always pristine, her mini haven looks as new as it did when I got it like, 6 months ago?? She’ll chase her treat ball to get food
And she does bunny 500’s pretty often -

Monkey likes to play “How many poopies can I leave around the pen for Mommy to pick up” game. She marks against Squirrel’s interloping… sigh.Oooh! Then Monkey and Olive have a game in common! Although, Olive’s bonded to Simon (not sure if Monkey is to Squirrel), so really, she should have no quarrels with sharing space. After all, what’s hers is hers, and what’s his… is hers, too!

They occasionally binky around and do bunny five hundreds, but they are just as likely to be flopped somewhere, or eating their first cut (ONLY) hay.
Olive used to have a thing for cardboard boxes, but it’s been a while since I gave her a good-sized one to tear up, and she liked phonebooks–but that was such an annoying mess to clean up that I haven’t had it in me to give her another one.

Tait loves his cat treat ball. He will play with it for hours before finally realising that nothing is left in it
He also likes the newspaper jellyfish when I make him one and hay and dried herbs in a toliet paper tube. He always has a diggy box with shredded paper and a crinkly cat tunnel that he spends the most of his time in -
Sometimes Wilbur and I play a non aggressive game of chase. No, don’t worry, I’m not traumatizing her
. She’ll run away from me and then bop me with her nose and then run away really fast again and repeat. And I don’t really chase after her lol. I don’t think it’s a game that people should play with all bunnies, it really depends on the rabbit’s personality and context. It’s much different from when I’m trying to get her to pick her up and she’s actually trying to run away from me haha.
