Rabbits make great pets and the most simple things bring them joy. To help you enrich your bunny's environment and stimulate their mind, we've curated a collection of top-rated toys and treats.

Providing your rabbit with plenty of toys can also reduce the chance that they’ll nibble on your stuff—like furniture or carpet. Since rabbits enjoy hopping, foraging, chewing, and playing, many of our selections combine these activities using textures and flavors that appeal to rabbits.

Our Top Picks

Best Overall

Niteangel Treat Ball

Niteangel Treat Ball

Amazon

What We Like
  • Stimulates rabbits mentally and physically

  • Dispenses treats

  • Available in two sizes

What We Don't Like
  • Can be difficult to clean

The Niteangel Treat Ball has an adjustable opening for treats, allowing you to fill it with your rabbit’s favorite kibble or treat. When they roll it around, the treats will fall out, encouraging even more active play. These treat balls are a great way to wear out active rabbits and give them food motivation if they aren’t usually into play. 

Rabbits will spend hours rolling the Niteangel Treat Ball around and digging for treats. It comes with a cleaning tool but cleaning it can still be annoying with all the small holes. It’s available in yellow, green, or blue, and you can also get packs with multiple treat balls. The three-pack is a great option if you tend to lose things under couches for months at a time. 

Dimensions: 2.8 x 2.8 x 2.8; 3.9 x 3.9 x 3.9 inches | Materials: Plastic

Best Scratcher

Hamiledyi Grass Scratcher Climbing Tree

Hamiledyi Grass Scratcher Climbing Tree

Amazon

What We Like
  • Removable carrot branches

  • Made from sea grass and corn leaf

  • Hand woven

  • Open dish base can be used for treats or toys

What We Don't Like
  • Possible to tip over if your bunny gets too enthusiastic

  • Some rabbits will make short work of the wrapping

Like if a cat scratcher was designed just for rabbits, the Hamiledyi Grass Scratcher Climbing Tree not only fulfills a couple different methods of play for your rabbit, but also looks interesting and provides opportunities for interaction that include you.

Made from sea grass and corn leaf, this Scratcher Climbing Tree is hand-woven, with a broad base that's perfect for scratching. Each of the four dangling carrot branches are removable, so you can pull one loose and literally dangle a carrot in front of your rabbit.

The ringed base that attaches to the scratcher tree is broad—just over 10 inches—forming a stable base, with an interior bowl that lets you heap timothy hay or other toys around the base of the tree.

Dimensions: 3.93 x 3.14 x 10.6 inches | Materials: Seagrass, corn leaf

Best Chew Toy Set

JanYoo Guinea Pig Chew Toys Set

JanYoo Rabbit Chew Toys Set

Amazon

What We Like
  • Great selection of toys

  • All natural ingredients

What We Don't Like
  • Toys are relatively small

Many rabbit toys are the kinds of things that will be chewed through and will need to be replaced. It can make sense to buy chew toy sets so you have a few more on deck before needing to go back to the store. The JanYoo Rabbit Chew Toy Set features 7 pieces.

It comes with a selection of natural toys that provide your pet with different ways to play. From apple sticks to wooden wheels you can hide treats in, variety can be key in giving your rabbit stimulating fun that also helps keep their teeth in check.

Dimensions: 6.61 x 4.69 x 4.69 inches | Materials: 100% natural fir

Best Ball

Ware Manufacturing Willow Branch Ball for Small Animals

Ware Manufacturing Willow Branch Ball for Small Animals

Amazon

What We Like
  • Available in multi-packs

  • All natural, made from willow branches

  • Light and easy for rabbits to roll around

What We Don't Like
  • Thin branches can be chewed through quickly

If you’re sensing a chewing trend, it’s because rabbits really, really love to chew. We love the Ware Manufacturing Willow Branch Ball because it encourages chewing while keeping your rabbit entertained as they nudge and push this branch ball around. It’s made from all-natural willow and measures 4 inches around. It's available in single packs as well as packs of three or five.

The tightly woven design allows the ball to last for a long time, even with aggressive chewers. It’s the perfect size for pushing and playing, but it's small enough to fit in most rabbit cages. It can occupy even the most active rabbits, though some owners remark that they wish it lasted a bit longer.

Dimensions: 4 x 4 x 4 inches | Materials: Willow branch

Best Budget Toy

Kaytee Perfect Chews for Rabbits

Kaytee Perfect Chews for Rabbits

Amazon

What We Like
  • Metal hook is easy to clip to cage

  • Wood toys use safe vegetable dye

  • Wood skewer at center—not plastic

What We Don't Like
  • No way to add more pieces to the hanger

Sometimes the best toys are the ones you can afford to buy frequently, even when your bunny tears through them. The Kaytee Perfect Chew for Rabbits costs just a couple dollars and is a great toy to have on hand for your energetic rabbits. This kabob toy is made up of wooden balls, a log, wooden carrots, and a wooden block. It hangs on your rabbit’s cage or hutch and can be easily discarded once it’s been chewed through. 

Reviewers love that this hanging chew toy is enticing and appealing even to picky rabbits. Many owners say they always keep one on hand and that they last weeks before they need to be replaced.

Dimensions: 6.5 x 2.13 x 1.25 inches | Materials: Wood

Best Chew Tube

Rosewood Giant Chew Tube

Rosewood Boredom Breaker Giant Chew Tube

Amazon

What We Like
  • Nearly 9-inch diameter suitable for most rabbits

  • Vegetable parchment is safe to eat

What We Don't Like
  • Material won't hold up to gnawing long

  • Expensive

If your bunny likes playing with cardboard toilet paper or paper towel rolls, then the Rosewood Boredom Breaker will be like something out of their wildest dream. A gigantic, colorful paper tube, the Rosewood Chew Tube combines hiding and gnawing in one package. Your rabbit can hide away inside the short tunnel (which is about the right size to hide a single bun), and nibble on the edges while they chill. It’s made from vegetable parchment, which is completely safe for them to nibble on.

But while it’s significantly more durable than a toilet paper roll—and should stand up to weeks of play—this isn’t going to last as long as a non-chewable tunnel or hiding spot. 

Dimensions: 8.27 x 11.81 x 8.27 inches | Materials: Parchment paper

Best Tunnel

Bwogue Bunny Tunnel

Bwogue Bunny Tunnel

Amazon

What We Like
  • Wide tunnel diameter

  • Multiple color options

  • Multiple openings

  • Includes peephole and hanging toy

What We Don't Like
  • Only available from Amazon

The Bwogue Bunny Tunnel incorporates a lot of features in an affordable package, including a dangling toy, multiple entrances, and a peephole that lets your buns pop their heads out of the top of the tunnel. Plus, with nine-inch diameter openings, it’s plenty big for adult rabbits. 

At 30 inches long, the Bwogue Bunny Tunnel takes up a moderate amount of floor space, but it’s alloy steel frame makes it light and conveniently collapsible, making it a good pick for setting up both indoors and outdoors. The tunnel fabric is rip-resistant polyester.

The Bwogue Bunny Tunnel is available in blue, plaid, rose red, and rainbow color patterns.

Dimensions: 31.4 x 9.05 x 9.05 inches | Materials: Fabric

Best Chew Sticks

Kaytee Apple Orchard Sticks

Kaytee Apple Orchard Sticks Small Animal Treats, 10 Count

Chewy

What We Like
  • Pre-drilled so they can be hung or put on a dispenser

  • Apple wood sticks are good for teeth

  • Available in bulk amounts

What We Don't Like
  • A little small

Rabbits love to chew, so when it comes to finding the best toy to keep your rabbit busy, start with appeasing that desire. Our top choice is Kaytee Apple Orchard Sticks, which appeal to nearly any rabbit and have an added benefit for your bun's teeth. These all-natural wood chews will help prevent boredom and can help keep your pet’s teeth trimmed and clean.

Every affordable package comes with ten three-inch sticks made from real apple trees. Pre-drilled holes let you hang them up in your pet's enclosure. They are suitable for aggressive chewers too.

Dimensions: 6.5 x 4.5 x 0.75 inches | Materials: Apple wood

Best Puzzle

Living World Teach N Treat Toy

Living World Teach N Treat Toy

Amazon

What We Like
  • A foraging treat dispenser that you can play with with your rabbit

  • Multiple configurations

  • Stimulates rabbits minds

What We Don't Like
  • Some rabbits get too good at it

The Teach ‘N Treat Toy is an educational toy that stimulates a rabbit’s mind while also scratching their foraging itch and dispensing treats. The puzzle is a 10-inch square and holds eight treats in hidden compartments. You hide the treats under little caps and the rabbits have to get at them. You can either show the rabbits where you’ve hidden them or not, depending on how easy you want to make things. 

The Teach ‘N Treat encourages natural foraging and keeps your rabbit active and alert. There are three configurations with increasing levels of difficulty, so you can present your rabbit with harder challenges once they’re used to uncovering the hidden treats. Some very clever rabbits will figure the toy out quickly, but for most it's a challenge that keeps them engaged.

Dimensions: 10 x 10 x 2 inches | Materials: Plastic

Best Hideout

Bwogue Grass House for Rabbits

Bwogue Extra Large Grass House for Rabbits

Amazon

What We Like
  • Doubles as a chew toy and a foraging toy

  • Made from natural woven grass

  • Multiple openings

  • Collapsible

What We Don't Like
  • Will need to be replaced from time to time

It’s important to provide rabbits with a place to hide when they’re feeling particularly prey-like, or just are fed up with your bad jokes and need some space. The Bwogue Grass House makes for an excellent option. It’s woven with natural grass and will encourage your pet to gnaw and forage, both important for their well-being. You can also hide treats within the woven grass to further scratch that foraging itch. 

The Bwogue Grass House is large enough for adult rabbits or capable of serving multiple smaller breed buns. The only downside, if you can call it that, is that it does double as a chew toy, so depending on your rabbit’s voraciousness they may chew through it quite fast. If you don’t want to have to replace it there are plastic hideaways available, but we prefer the natural route.

Dimensions: 9.84 x 11.42 x 14.57 inches | Materials: Natural grass

Best Hanging Toys

Oxbow Play Wall

Oxbow Enriched Life Play Wall

Chewy

What We Like
  • Available in two sizes

  • Wide variety of materials, textures, and chewing surfaces

  • All natural components

What We Don't Like
  • Can take up a lot of space

The Oxbow Enriched Life Play Wall is a hanging toy that provides a bunch of different options for your rabbit. The wall itself is a hempen rope that can be chewed on, but it’s also covered in all-natural toys of different shapes and sizes that your rabbit can play with and chew off of the wall.

It’s larger than pictures suggest too, and can occupy a significant amount of wall space in your rabbit's hutch or cage. Many reviewers write that their rabbits love to work at getting the individual toys off the wall. Of course, with any toy like this, it will need to be replaced from time to time as your rabbit chews through it. 

Dimensions: 8 x 11.75 x 3 inches (large), 6 x 10.5 x 3 (small) | Materials: Natural fabric

Best for Foraging

Hamiledyi Woven Bed Mat

Hamiledyi Grass Mat Woven Bed Mat for Small Animal

Amazon

What We Like
  • Encourages digging and foraging

  • All natural, made from hay

  • Available in 3-packs

What We Don't Like
  • Will need to be replaced from time to time

Rabbits instinctively want to dig and forage. It’s important to have some way for your rabbit to fulfill this instinct. A foraging toy can be a great way to do it. This foraging mat is made of 100 percent woven timothy hay, with no wire or thread that could pose a danger to your pet. You can hide treats within it to really scratch the foraging itch. 

It comes with three grass mats so you can arrange as best fits your enclosure or layer for more foraging. You can hand wash it if it gets dirty but you might be better off just buying a new one. 

Dimensions: 11 x 8.3 x .2 inches | Materials: Straw

Best Timothy Hay

Oxbow Enriched Life Timothy Waffle Small Animal Toy

Oxbow Enriched Life Timothy Waffle Small Animal Toy

Chewy

What We Like
  • All natural

  • Encourages chewing and playing

  • Cute waffle design

What We Don't Like
  • Devoured pretty quickly

The Oxbow Enriched Life Timothy Waffle Toy is an all-natural treat made from timothy hay (a type of hay made from timothy grass) that is high in fiber and 100-percent safe for small pets. Place the waffle-shaped toy in your rabbit's habitat and watch them have fun chewing and playing with it.

The Waffle Toy measures three inches square and will encourage your bunny to forage while keeping them entertained. If your bunny is an aggressive chewer, you might find that this chew toy gets devoured pretty quickly. But most rabbits really love this toy, so we recommended buy more than one at a time to have the next waffle ready to go.

Dimensions: 4.875 x 1.625 x 7.375 inches | Material: Timothy hay

Final Verdict

Our favorite rabbit toy is the Niteangel Treat Ball, which is a great way to interact with your bun, or leave them to chase it around solo. If you’re looking for a useful pile of stimulating chew toys, check out the JanYoo Rabbit Chew Toys Set, which comes with chewing sticks, balls, ropes, and noisemaking toys.

What to Look for in Rabbit Toys

Rabbits fulfill several needs through play. Different types of toys can provide for different instinctual needs.

Chewing

Chewing is one of the primary urges rabbit toys can serve, alleviating their need to chew on your stuff. Although rabbits are not rodents (they’re lagomorphs!), like rodents they have teeth that never stop growing, and which must be worn down on hay, grasses, and other coarse chewing surfaces. 

This makes rabbit toys unique, in that most are designed to be destroyed. Cardboard, soft wood, and hay are common toy components that allow your bunny to work their jaws while they’re having fun. 

Rabbits should be provided with untreated wood and un-dyed cardboard. Plastic toys should be played with only while under supervision.

Hiding

Since rabbits are prey species, they require a place to retreat to feel secure. Rabbits hide frequently, sometimes because they are stressed or scared, but sometimes out of habit or to relax. While we make several recommendations for hiding places, they should be thought of less like toys and more like a precondition for play. 

In addition to a hiding place in their cage or enclosure, your rabbits should have access to a hiding spot when they’re brought out to play too. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals—an animal welfare charity in the United Kingdom—makes several useful recommendations for hiding places that can keep your bunnies their happiest. Hiding spots should be placed in quiet areas, away from drafts, human traffic areas, or direct sunlight. A good hiding place will be high enough for a rabbit to get underneath it quickly, without having to crawl, but it also shouldn’t be too much higher than their height or your rabbit won’t feel secure. If you have multiple rabbits, make sure they each have a hiding spot and that there’s also a joint hiding spot large enough for both of them to share a space.

FAQ
  • Can rabbits play with plastic toys?

    Yes, but only under supervision. Rabbits don’t know what’s safe and not safe to ingest or chew, and so must be prevented from gnawing on plastic toys. However, treat-dispensing toys, puzzles, and other plastic devices can provide fantastic mental stimulation for your bun.

  • Can rabbits have catnip toys?

    Rabbit diets are best supplemented with timothy hay, which is beneficial to their digestion. Catnip doesn’t have the fiber that rabbits need. Catnip also doesn’t have the same intoxicating effect on rabbits as it does on cats. However, catnip is a non-toxic herb for rabbits, so sharing a catnip cat toy with your rabbit won’t endanger them. Since young rabbits are particularly prone to digestive issues, rabbit care blogger Bunny Horde advises against providing bunnies with catnip toys until they’re at least 12 weeks old.
