We are about to adopt two eight week old does. We got rid of everything when our old boy died last year so starting completely afresh.
We have an indoor pen so far. Any help appreciated.

Look on the Rabbit Welfare Association website; lots of helpful advice on there. Good luck!

Will do. Thank you.

Boxes and plenty of them. I've tried lots of toys over the years but basically boxes win. They can be tunnels, houses or just chewed and thrown about. I did have one bun who loved a football and would push it round with her nose. She also liked balloons and once she worked out how to pop them, thought that was brilliant - she was a bit odd.

Tree stumps of various heights are good (mine like jumping on and off them).

Fruit tree branches to gnaw on are a good idea too and hay or fabric tunnels.

Plastic stools, plastic tunnels (pets at home have extendable ones) and a big pile of newspaper to rip.

Good luck!

Ours always love cardboard boxes more than any expensive shop toys. Like small children Grin They also have a blanket which they like to "dig" and pull around. We feed them Burgess Excel pellets, which there's a special junior version of. Plus lots of hay, I get mine from timothyhay.co.uk as well or The Hay Experts.

Forgot to say we use the pets @ home complete food, Hay, and lots of veg (a good mug each a day)
