I had let my first bunny have the run of \"her\" room while I was at work. In her room was a large roll from a carpet remnant. Needless to say she enjoyed chewing on it more than rolling it around. Unfortunately she had ingested a large portion of the cardboard and became impacted. Her surgery was not successful, so I suggest keeping a very watchful eye on your bunnies if you choose to let them play with anything cardboard.\"
I have a suggestion for a great, cheap, and safe bunny toy - an empty pop can. (Be sure to remove the tab first.) Rabbits can push it around, but you don\'t have ingestion issues.

They won\'t get cut on the opening?
Well...not in 41 years, at least. I have not observed them trying to get their faces inside. They just push it around with their nose. Now...size might have something to do with it. I don\'t raise Polish, Dwarfs, or other dwarf-type breeds, so if you think this might be an issue, you might want to find an alternative.
