Why do rabbits need chew toys?

Rabbits need chew toys because their teeth grow continuously, so they require lots of healthy chewing to keep them honed and healthy. Rabbit chew toys provide a safe way for them to wear down their teeth and prevent dental problems caused by overgrowth. In addition, chewing helps bunnies stay mentally engaged and relaxed, so providing chew toys can help prevent boredom and relieve stress.

What are the best chew toys for rabbits?

The best chew toys for rabbits are engaging designs made from rabbit-safe materials such as untreated wood, seagrass, timothy hay, or woven fibers.

Bunnies also like chew rings and sticks, balls, tube toys, chew baskets, edible tunnels, and toys in fun shapes like carrots and lollipops.

Can rabbit chew toys be left in the enclosure all the time?

Rabbit chew toys can be left in the enclosure all the time as long as they are safe and designed specifically for bunnies. Chew toys should be left in the enclosure so rabbits can chew whenever they need to, and rotating or offering new chew toys regularly is also recommended. For safety, replace heavily damaged non-edible toys and remove any small parts that might present a choking hazard.
