New 3 story bunny abode & advice for a bunny with a chew habit

[Starla]

I recently got a 3 story adobe condo from petwerks! Thought I would share some photos. I’m really impressed with this condo and the only reason I didn’t build my own is because I don’t have much time and would need a durable one because of my cat who loves jumping onto things. 

Also, in need for advice. My rabbit chews everything. I give her lots of toys and have gotten toys for her for christmas but she seems to destroy them all over night. She has already destroyed 4 toys made from willow and vine (from petwerks) that I gave her 5 days ago. I see bearly any left overs from these toys so my next question is, is it ok for my rabbit to swallow these toys?

I know she only swallows the natural toys (sticks, loofa, etc). I take away any thing that isn’t natural that she starts to tear apart (an examples is I just caught her chewy a hole in a ping pong ball I gave her to push around). 

Is there any cheap toys I can give her to destroy? She has had cardboard but isn’t a fan of chewing it unless it is mounted. This keeps me up all night and is annoying cause it rattles her whole cage. 

She hasn’t had any interest in her timothy hay twists, just her matt which she hasn’t done much damage to. 

Thank you for any advice.

Empty Toilet paper and Scott towel rolls. I cut a little fringe on the ends and my bunny seems to have more interest in it.

By the way I Love your bunny condo! I attempted to make my own with the storage cubes. I decided not to use it, as it didn’t seem sturdy enough and wasn’t motivated to finish it. It was a pain trying to attached the grids. I may look into finding something like you have for my one bun.

Yes toilet paper tubes are a great cheap toy, stuff them with hay and they’re great fun. Willow and vine chews don’t take long to get through, so try some wood chew toys next time, my pair love the barrel rollers, but any wood chew often works a treat, better as you said if they’re attached to the cage.

Any binky bunny toys you recommend? My rabbit shows no interest in toilet paper rolls

That’s why I recommend stuffing hay in them, they’re always more intersting with hay in them.

I’m afraid that I haven’t yet tried any binky bunny toys due to shipping restrictions, but I’m sure that others on here have

Stuffing hay in them may help. Actually an empty oatmeal canister was a hit for my bun. That was her special chew toy I would let her have for short periods at a time. She loved it

I stuff them with hay then shove some treats in the middle – drives the bunnies mad trying to get the treats out

What did you use to attach them together?

I used the attachments it came with and zip ties.
