  My holand lop, Bunnicus, is a good bunny. He doesn’t chew on cords, furniture and has only occasionally dug at the carpet. We’ve tried wood toys, paper towel rolls, tubes full of organic apple wood, dangling treats from rope across the room, we have tried just about all we could, salt rocks, lava rocks, we even got a tennis ball in hopes he’d roll it around a little bit he’s just not interested. we noticed he only really likes willow wood (the thin kind only) and some sugary sunflower seeds. we even set up a wood box castle for him. he will chew on that but he mainly sleeps there when he’s tired. he’s let out almost all day for a minimum 5 hours if we can help it and he’s leash trained so he does go on walks during the summer. i just feel like a box, one treat and possibly one toy (because he’s not always interested) aren’t enough for him. has anyone else had this problem? any suggestions?
  P.S. we move the room around every once in a while to mentally stimulate him and he’s super cuddly and lovey so he’s not sick or anything, just picky

  My Bam isn’t interested in toys except his treat ball when it has treats in it. He likes to lounge and cuddle, dig in blankies and run through his tunnels. He chews the bark off of apple twigs. My Yohio wasn’t interested in toys either, not even the treat balls. Some bunnies are like that, I think.

  My bunnies weren’t interested in toys when they were really little, then they discovered that they are actually rabbits and can chew and now anything they can devour, they do lol. They also like plastic stacking cups (knocking them down Godzilla style and/or throwing them around), plastic bowling pins, digging at blankets occasionally etc.

  My bunnies only show any interest in toys that they can eat like willow things.

  Willow and Julius are the same way! When it was just Willow, she wouldn’t give any of her toys the time of day. Now she’s with Julius, but he’s not interested in chewing on toys either. Just my carpet. > He likes toys he can eat, like willow sticks, but he’s so big he usually has them devoured in 24 hours! (And cardboard. He likes getting inside cardboard homes and chewing on them. I call it ‘bunstruction.’)
  
  I’m thinking of buying willow toys in bulk and giving them a few every couple days. Problem is FINDING willow toys in bulk…
