Rabbits thrive on enrichment and need time to meet their most basic behavioral needs. Providing fun and safe opportunities for enrichment will help prevent boredom-based behaviors that can be not only damaging but costly as well. Key behaviors that rabbits are wired to instinctively take part in every day include:
- Exploring – Not only does exploring offer mental stimulation, but it also promotes physical activity that can prevent obesity.
- Playing – Rabbits are not only intelligent animals but they’re very social as well. Playing with them can create a strong human/animal bond.
- Chewing – Rabbits have open-rooted teeth, meaning that they continuously grow throughout their lifetime. By directing their attention to items that are meant to be gnawed on, you’re not only helping them maintain their dental health but you’re also diverting their attention away from less than ideal chewing fodder (like that 7th generation wooden rocker in your living room).
- Hiding – House bunnies may be domesticated, but they still have their prey instincts! Providing hiding places for your little one throughout their habitat – and your home – is essential to help keep your pet feel safe and to reduce stress.
Check out our top 10 toys and accessories to help meet your bunny’s enrichment needs below!

4. Hide ‘n Seek Mat – Large

8. Celebration Cake
Great For: Chewing, Playing
Talk about combining the best life has to offer. Cake? Amazing. Celebrations? Awesome. Sure, our Celebration Cake is almost too cute to shred to bits, but we’re yet to meet a rabbit with that level of self-control. That why it’s made with a variety of natural, enriching papers custom made to gnaw until there’s nothing left but confetti. Pair with a Celebration Pom Pom and Crunchy Carrot for a proper bunny party!
9. Hideaway Dream Castle
Great For: Hiding
Your rabbit is royalty. They know it, you know it, we all know it. So they must have a castle (or 2, or 3, or 57). It comes complete with built-in hay feeders, allowing your little loved one to munch on their favorite forage in the comfort of their very own castle. You can even go one step further, buy a few, and create a proper fortress. What regal rabbit wouldn’t love that?
10. Play Garden

Bring the outdoors inside with your rabbit’s very own Play Garden! Enriching, removable pieces are perfect for tossing or spinning on their pegs. Not only is it cute and colorful, but you’ll be adding hours of playtime and enrichment to your little one’s day!
