How many of you have checked out Petfinders?
There are bunnies needing homes all over the U.S.
These are just a few of the bunnies listed here in Texas.

I am not looking anywhere for rabbits. The one I have is more than enough

What do you guys do to keep them busy?

In my one pic above you see "The Diggy Box", which only comes up from the basement and gets filled with fresh bedding for them to dig through when they (mostly Ivy) hits her seasonal digging moods. I just push the stuff back in a few times per day to let her re-dig it. Keeps her from going at the old rug in there.

The HUGE thing I can't recommend enough is a cardboard scratching pad for cats. These are the ones that you can sprinkle catnip on (throw that out). They come in all shapes and sizes and last for weeks with my bigger rabbits both going at them. Mine particularly like the "couch" design:

Cardboard couch

These things have been a God-send in keeping them busy! They sit on them and nibble, tug, yank, dig, etc. Be careful of the ones "infused" with catnip. No bueno!

. Is the gray storage bin the litter box? What a great idea if it is!

How much does the chopping of the balls cost over there?

I’m not in the US. There isn’t a lot of bunnies for adoption here (which I hope is sign that people don’t dump their pets, not that animal rescues don’t care about the rabbits). But I did find this cute bunny for adoption!

Those cat scratchers are awesome!

Niven also has a dig box. Hers is full of hay, paper, and bits of her old toys. Periodically I sprinkle some forage mix in there. She loves hunting for the tastiest bits.

Sticks, especially apple wood. She has a cardboard tray I keep stocked with various sticks for her to choose from.

Balls: willow, palm, or sea grass. Loves destroying those. Or just dunking them in her water dish.

Hay treats. We get both the oxbow lollipops and the dumbbells. They are great for when we are going to be gone longer than usual or when we need a distraction to keep her out from underfoot.

Any toy that can be filled with a few treats or pellets are also a big hit (stacking cups etc).

Treb loves his cat cardboards.
