These may seem really basic but sometimes the most obvious things can be overlooked.  So here are two toys that take only seconds (okay maybe minutes but the point is they’re really quick) and are so easy you’ll be saying to yourself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?!’.

Materials:

• Kraft paper, packing paper, newspaper or regular undyed paper
• Sisal rope

Cost: Free!

For the first toy, cut a 6″x6″ square out of your paper.  It doesn’t have to be exact, so don’t worry if it’s not quite square or a little larger or smaller.  Then just crunch it up!  This will create a lightweight ball that’s fully nibble-able.  Easy to chew and toss!  Voila!

One of Rocky’s favourites, this second toy is going to follow the steps of the Mini Treat Bag but if you don’t have any goodies this is a great alternative.  Start by cutting a 6-8″ square out of the paper.  Now place one of those crunched up balls you just made in the centre.  Then just wrap this up and tie with the sisal rope.  Tie right above the ball to create the bubble shape, leaving about an inch or so of extra paper for your rabbit to nibble.  Rocky absolutely loves tossing these around and best of all there’s no mess!
