  My rabbit keeps moving his litter box away from his hay. It’s usually in the middle of his cage. Any ideas as to why he might be doing this?
  
  is it normal for rabbits to be bored of their hay? They eat it but not as much as they used too. I haven’t changed anything with their diet.

  Mine used to move his litter box around when he was bored, so that may be something to look into depending on how much space they have or what stimulation they are getting.
  
  And it could be they are just tied of their hay. I had to change hay a couple times, I went from timothy have to orchard grass and now I am mixing the two. They also may not like how you have the hay set up. There is a lot of things and I have found that rabbits are very particular and can be fussy, lol.

    there cages are huge with plenty of room. I was wondering if they were bored the last couple of days. Normally they are out of their cage all day, I’ve been really busy the last couple of days so they are only out part of the day.
    
    Any suggestions for stimulation toys because I think they are tired of their toys

    Toilet rolls stuffed with hay, I have started putting some herbs on the middle, they really like that. I have a forage mat too I use sometimes. I’ll hide some pellets or herbs in or even just a pile of hay with the herbs sprinkled in. Its a little messy but they really enjoy it.
    
    I also try to rotate their toys, I have a box of balls, chew sticks, the usual rabbit toys and every few days I swap stuff around to keep it kinda fresh. f you haven’t tried wicker baskets I would recommend, mine enjoy those.

  If they are bored, you could see if they enjoy tossing things. Perhaps they do if they were moving the litter box around.
  
  Hard plastic is generally considered safe because it is difficult for a bunny to actually gnaw a piece off. They will scratch the plastic with their teeth, but chunks don’t come off. Popular items include baby keys and baby stacking cups.
