The Super Pet Veggie Basket is a metal ball that hangs from a chain and holds your rabbit’s vegetables. There is one section of the ball that is wider providing an opening for you to place the veggies inside the ball. This is a great enrichment toy as it forces your rabbit to work for their tasty snack! They must figure out how to get the vegetables out of the basket which keeps them busy and provides them some exercise as well!

Pros:

• Can be used for other small pets such as guinea pigs, rats and chinchillas.
• Stimulates bunny’s brain and gets them moving while also providing a healthy snack.
• Since the veggie basket hangs your rabbit can’t knock it over therefore minimizing mess.
• It doesn’t take up any extra space in the cage.

Cons:

• Because it has to have large holes so your pet can grab the food it is only really suitable for large leafy greens or larger slices of vegetables. Anything smaller would just fall out of the gaps.
• The hole to place your veggies in is quite small so it can be a bit tricky getting the veggies inside.
• It doesn’t hold a large amount so if you have multiple pets in the same cage you may want to consider having one veggie ball for each pet.
• If you have made your own cage or your cage doesn’t have a gridded top it may be difficult to find a place to attach it.

The Living World Teach n’ Treat is an enrichment toy by Hagen that promotes natural foraging behaviours in your pet rabbit.  It acts as a boredom buster by getting your bunny’s brain working while also providing a bit of exercise (especially if you’re Ollie who loves to fling the entire thing around)!  In order for your rabbit to obtain the treat they must first determine how to move the game pieces around so the treat is exposed.  There are three levels to this game providing three unique puzzles for your rabbit to solve.

Level 1 – Bunny has to move the disc around to expose the treats underneath.

Level 2 – Bunny has to remove plastic knobs exposing the treats in the treat holes.

Level 3 – Bunny has to slide the knobs around a piece that snaps in to the middle of the game to expose the treats.

Pros:

• Three games in one
• Encourages natural foraging behaviours in rabbits
• Great boredom buster
• Keeps bunny’s brain active
• Provides interaction and bonding time between you and your rabbit
• Can also be a great educational toy for other pets such as guinea pigs, chinchillas, rats, small dogs and larger parrots.

Cons:

• May not be challenging to rabbits who are not interested in treats (like our little Willow) or to those who master all three levels quickly.

Although this game was hard to find locally and a little pricey it has been a huge success at my house! The bunnies seem to love it and I find it entertaining watching them try to figure each level out (or ways to cheat)!
