  I got my young English lop a couple of months ago. We have had very few problems other than the fact that I can’t seem to find suitable things, hides in particular, for her size. I’ve tried cardboard boxes, as many people seem to recommend, but she tears them open and flips them over to sit on them, so she may need something a bit heavier to function as a hide rather than an oversized toy. Are there any websites or stores I should look at? Toy recommendations are also welcome—she tends to like willow balls and corn husk toys the most. I’ve tried wooden chews with her, but she wants nothing to do with them.

  It has come to my attention that rabbits actually shouldn’t have corn husks, should they eat them. I will be removing them from her pen and refraining from giving them to her unsupervised in the future. (she does not have a blockage—she never ate them much, mostly chewed holes and shredded them, and hasn’t touched any in days) I do usually try to check new ingredients to make sure, but I admit this one slipped by me because it was a brand I’ve trusted for years.

  My rabbits all love palm plates and grass mats for chewing. Willow and apple sticks (fresh ones!) are also a favorite. It can def take some experimentation to find chews that your bun likes.
  
  As for hides, you could build one out of wood (there are also a lot of “Ikea hacks” using various wooden crates they sell), or you can get a plastic laundry basket and cut some doors into it. They make great hides and you could likely find one big enough for your bun.

  You can try cat houses too.

  For a sturdier hide, check online pet stores like Chewy or Amazon for larger rabbit hideouts. Stick to willow balls and corn husk toys if she enjoys them, and consider tunnels or woven grass mats as alternatives. Experiment to find her favorite toys!
