Bunny toys?

Is it okay for my bunnies to play with egg crates/cartons?
(Not the Styrofoam kind but the Cardboard)
Do you have any ideas for homemade bunny toys?
Answers:
Egg cartons would make a great toy! Make sure your bunny isn't actually eating a lot.
Homemade toys are the best! Here are some suggestions:
-popsicle sticks soaked in apple juice then dried out
-popsicle sticks with the notches in them. Put them together like Lincoln Logs
-Paper lunch bags filled with hay and other treats. Tie the top closed with raffia.
-toilet paper rolls stuffed with hay
-plastic Easter egg with a few dry beans in it so it rattles
-paper grocery bag
Below is a link to a web page that tells you how to make more complicated toys. You don't have to be limited to the one pictured. The sky's the limit. It gives homemade toys tips, too.
bunnies love to chew.. and to play.. I found that empty paper towel and toilet paper rolls are fun..I think the cardboard egg cartons would be fine
If you go to the pet store like petsmart and or other local stores they can tell you
Yes, but supervise them for a while to check they don't eat it and choke. I f the cartons have stickers on them, take them off and make sure there are no chemicals in the cardboard such as bleach. Rabbits like old Telephone books to chew as well, but the best thing is a dry branch with lichen or dry moss on it. Make sure it doesnt come from a poisonous tree!!
you could build your bunny a house out of various shaped boxes and tunnels. Have fun with your bunnies! :)
