Step 2
Purchase commercially marketed rabbit chew toys and see which ones she likes. You can also buy small balls and other toys marketed for dogs and cats. Just be careful that there are no small parts or toxic materials in any of the toys.

Step 3
Find toys around your home. Some of your rabbit's favorite toys might not really be toys at all. Try things such as untreated straw baskets, canning jar rings and cardboard boxes with the ends cut off. Phone books and magazines are also enjoyed by many rabbits. Be sure the magazine is printed with a soy based ink. Most magazines today are.

Step 4
Provide a high place for your rabbit to jump onto. Rabbits like sitting up high in a spot with a good view. Cat mazes, tunnels and perches can be the favorite of rabbits.

Step 5
Play with your rabbit using the toys. Most rabbits will not play with you unless you get onto the floor at their level. Rabbits need to feel safe when playing so you should never roughhouse with them like you might a cat or dog.
