Chew Toys Made from natural wood, hay, or seagrass, these are crucial for dental health and satisfying a rabbit's natural urge to gnaw. Foraging Toys These toys encourage natural foraging behaviors by hiding treats or food, providing mental stimulation. Tunnels and Hideaways Rabbits are prey animals and need safe spaces to hide and feel secure. Tunnels offer both a sense of security and a fun place to explore. Toss and Shred Toys Items like balls, baskets, or cardboard boxes can be thrown, pushed, or shredded, providing physical and mental exercise. What to consider when choosing toys:

• Safety: Always opt for toys made from natural, untreated materials that are safe to ingest in small quantities and won't cause blockages. Avoid toys with toxic chemicals or small parts that can be easily swallowed. 
• Durability: Rabbits are enthusiastic chewers, so choose toys that are sturdy enough to withstand their chewing habits, though some toys are designed to be consumed. 
• Enrichment: Toys should provide mental and physical stimulation, encouraging natural behaviors like chewing, foraging, digging, and hiding. 

Brushing & Shedding

• Short-haired: Brush weekly; more during shedding.
• Long-haired: Daily brushing is crucial to prevent mats.
• Shedding (Molting): Happens a few times a year; requires more frequent/daily brushing 
• Tools: Soft-bristle brush, slicker brush, rubber mitt, comb.
• Technique: Gentle strokes in hair growth direction; watch ears/armpits. 

Nail Trims
