Start collecting toilet paper and paper towel rolls. Every time you have a new roll, stuff hay into it and give it to your bunny, who will likely have fun tossing it up and down in the air as she tries to grab bites of hay.

2
Keep all of your old phone books and have family and friends do the same. Give one or two phone books to your rabbit at a time. Phone books are great for ripping apart and most rabbits love to shred them to pieces.

Provide your rabbit with a box. Boxes provide the perfect hiding place and the perfect chew toy for a playful rabbit.

Take a large box, or a spare litter box, and fill it with shredded paper, hay or even an old blanket to create the perfect digging ground for your rabbit.

Give your rabbit a regular paper bag to hide in, chew and play with. Paper bags are often a popular, easy-to-find toy for bunnies.

Tips & Warnings
Baby keys, which can generally be found at dollar stores and pharmacies, are also great rabbit toys. Gently toss the baby keys to your rabbit and don’t be surprised if he picks them up and tosses them back to you.
Not all rabbits will like the same toys. If your rabbit doesn’t particularly like a toy, such as baby keys, don’t be discouraged. Be creative, and you’ll come up with plenty of toys to keep both you and your bunny content.
Never allow your rabbit to play with a plastic bag.

If you have a rabbit that chews the walls or rips up furniture, it could be a sign that your rabbit is not stimulated enough by his toys! Another good toy idea is to get an old square of shag rug for your rabbit to pull at, but if he eats what he pulls, that is not good as it will be harmful to the rabbit.

My rabbits are also quite fond of metal measuring spoons. I just give them the whole set, still connected by the little metal ring.Also, hanging bird bells - with or without wooden chew blocks - are quite fun. One of my does will grab the edge of the bell in her teeth and shake it back and forth to make it ring.They also like hard plastic whiffle balls, soccer balls, or empty plastic pop bottles with the lids on. They love to shove things around. -
