Exercise and Play

Rabbits like to play, so make sure they have plenty of toys. Play is very good for them because it helps to keep them physically active and healthy and helps to prevent behavioural problems like fur plucking that can arise if they get bored.

You can provide a variety of toys from pet shops or use household objects. Small boxes to stand on, large pieces of plastic pipe (ensuring your pets can’t get stuck) as activity tunnels (these can be also be bought from pet shops), toilet roll tubes stuffed with Excel Herbage and willow balls with treats stuck in them are all good.

In the garden a large, secure, covered run makes an ideal play and exercise area, and it's simple to make an indoor version if required.

Foraging is natural behaviour for rabbits, so let them go searching for food hidden in plenty of hay – Excel Nature Snacks are perfect for them to find.
