OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

we used to always buy a lot of wooden toys and blocks for my bun to chew on but she rarely ever chews on them so we stopped getting her anymore. she’ll chew on jade plants and her house and things she isn’t suppose to chew but she won’t chew the things she can play with. is there any way to get her to play with them ? she gets a lot of hay but doesn’t eat it as often as she should. i was thinking it might be because she’s bored and destructive but she won’t play with actual toys. maybe putting a thin layer of apple juice or orange juice get her to chew it ?? i’m not sure. please help !

As Daisy said, it’s finding your rabbit’s preference. Toys are human-created items, not things rabbits naturally go to, though we try out best to use rabbit-enticing materials, like Willow.
Wick has no interest in chewing, so I have no advice for what toys to chew. We’ve tried soaking wood sticks in fruit juice and that still didn’t work, so we’re satisfied that we won’t need to continuously buy chew toys.
We do get him general stimulation toys, as a way to keep him on his toes and troubleshoot issues. We have baby -stacking cups-, that we put his pellets and treats in, and he needs to knock them down or pull them out of each other to get to the food. We also have a -windmill- dog toy that he recently figured out he needs to spin the arms in order to get the food to fall out! There’s also the classic treat ball, made from a toilet paper tube: http://www.instagram.com/p/BiHosnDAwMo/?taken-by=wick_theboogeyman
