How to make your bunny happy

How do you know when your bunny is happy? Bunnies love to show it! If your bunny flops on her side and lies there together with her eyes closed, you'll know all is right together with her world. They might scare you the first time they does this, and it is not unusual for a used bunny owner to think something is wrong. Don't fret. Your bunny is telling you she is happy. It is the happy flop.

Then there is the binky. If your bunny binkies, you know she is on top of the world. Binkies are crazy happy dances. Your bunny will hop in the air, twirl her head and spin around then perhaps start jogging at top speed. Any bunny owner will attest to the great joy it brings to see their bun or buns do the binky dance.
Now, how to keep your bunny content? First and foremost is attending to her chewing needs. Bunnies absolutely love to chew. Phone books are popular with bunnies who love to shred the pages, so make positive you keep all of your elderly phone books (you might even ask your relatives and friends for theirs.) A bunny can go through a phone book quickly.

Toilet paper and paper towel rolls are also safe and popular chew toys for bunnies. To make it even more fun, you can take a roll and stuff hay inside for them to dig out.
Boxes and paper bags are as well as a great source of entertainment for bunnies. You can fill the paper bag with hay, or put an open paper bag on the floor for the bunnies to crawl in to and dig. You'll be surprised at how long they can entertain themselves by playing with the bag.

Cardboard boxes are also an wonderfully simple source of entertainment. Take a huge box and cut several doorways and windows in to it. (Bunnies always prefer to have at least entrances.) Your bunny will love to go in and dig, chew (making the doorways or windows bigger) and hide away. It is as well as a great place to put your bunny's haywhich they can eat as well as dig. You can also securely tape a bunch of cardboard boxes together, so the bunnies can run through them and play.
