Rabbit Toys at Petco

Rabbits are playful and intelligent animals that thrive when they have toys to keep them entertained and engaged. At Petco, we offer a wide variety of rabbit toys designed to enrich your pet’s environment, promote healthy behaviors, and provide hours of fun. Whether your rabbit enjoys chewing, exploring, or hopping around, we have the right toys to match their needs and preferences.

Benefits of Rabbit Toys

Providing your rabbit with toys offers more than just entertainment. Here are some of the key benefits of rabbit toys:

• Encourages Physical Exercise – Rabbits are naturally active and need physical exercise to stay healthy. Toys that encourage movement, such as tunnels or balls, help keep your rabbit fit and prevent obesity.
• Stimulates Mental Health – Rabbits are highly intelligent and require mental stimulation to prevent boredom. Puzzle toys and foraging activities allow your rabbit to problem-solve and use their brains, which is essential for their mental well-being.
• Supports Natural Behaviors – Rabbits enjoy chewing, digging, and foraging. Providing appropriate toys satisfies these natural instincts and encourages healthy, enjoyable activities.
• Reduces Stress and Anxiety – Toys can also help reduce stress and anxiety, particularly if your rabbit is left alone for extended periods. Engaging toys can help keep your rabbit calm and occupied, preventing destructive behavior caused by boredom.
• Enhances Bonding – Interactive toys that you can enjoy together, such as treat-dispensing toys or games, help strengthen the bond between you and your rabbit while providing mutual enjoyment.

Types of Rabbit Toys at Petco

At Petco, we offer a wide range of rabbit toys to suit different needs and preferences. Here are some of the most popular types of rabbit toys you’ll find:

• Chew Toys – Chewing is a natural behavior for rabbits, and having appropriate chew toys helps keep their teeth healthy and trim. Choose from natural wood, hay-based chews, or cardboard toys to provide safe chewing options for your rabbit.
• Interactive Toys – Interactive toys encourage play and problem-solving. These toys often involve a treat-dispensing mechanism or require your rabbit to work to access their favorite snacks. These toys provide mental stimulation and reward your rabbit for their effort.
• Foraging Toys – Foraging toys mimic natural food-seeking behaviors and provide your rabbit with a fun way to engage with their food. You can find toys that hide treats in tunnels, hay holders, or puzzle feeders that challenge your rabbit’s problem-solving skills.
• Rope and Tunnels – Tunnels are great for rabbits who love to hide, explore, and run through enclosed spaces. Soft rope or fabric tunnels allow your rabbit to feel secure while providing them with opportunities for physical and mental stimulation.
• Balls and Rolling Toys – Balls and rolling toys are perfect for active rabbits who love to chase and push things around. These toys can be filled with treats to entice your rabbit and keep them engaged in play for longer periods.
• Jumping and Climbing Toys – For rabbits that enjoy jumping and climbing, toys that offer vertical or elevated play spaces, such as ramps or platforms, provide the perfect way to exercise and satisfy their natural curiosity.
• Plush and Soft Toys – Some rabbits enjoy cuddling or playing with soft toys. Plush toys can be used for comfort or as an extra source of entertainment for your rabbit to toss and roll around with.
• Exercise Wheels – Although not all rabbits take to exercise wheels, they can be a great way to provide exercise for the more active bunny. Choose a safe, sturdy wheel that’s designed for small animals to keep your rabbit active and engaged.

Common Questions

How often should I provide new toys for my rabbit?

It’s a good idea to rotate your rabbit’s toys to keep them engaged. Introduce a new toy every few weeks, and occasionally change out existing toys to maintain interest. Be sure to check toys regularly for wear and tear and replace them when necessary to ensure your rabbit’s safety.

Are all rabbit toys safe?

Not all toys are safe for rabbits. Be sure to choose toys that are made from non-toxic materials and are appropriate for small animals. Avoid toys with small parts that could be chewed off and swallowed. Always supervise your rabbit with new toys until you’re sure they’re safe to play with.

What type of toys are best for my rabbit’s teeth?

Chew toys are especially important for your rabbit’s dental health. Providing safe, natural chew toys made from materials like wood, hay, or cardboard helps keep their teeth trimmed and prevents dental problems. Chew toys also provide an outlet for your rabbit’s chewing instinct, which is essential for their well-being.
