I have some toys and snacks and ramps for him but that doesn't seem to be enough. He has phone books and cardboard boxes but he seems to need more..
Any ideas i can really use them??????

Do you spend time playing with your bunny? Whenever I get down on the floor with ours they love to crawl on me and explore. We also change out the toys we give them so they don't get bored. How much time out of his pen/cage does he have?

Another idea is to adopt a friend for him. Be sure your bunny is neutered and it's a good idea to contact a local rescue and set an appt. to bring your bunny in so he can pick a friend. We have a bonded pair and they are so cute together and our boy never seems bored. both sites I've listed have lists of rabbit rescue organizations and probably more tips about keeping

We had a rabbit that was always bored in her cage, and we couldn't let her inside the house because she chewed wires and made a mess. I have a friendly dog and cat so I tied the rabbit around a tree with 15 foot rope and a rabbit harness. They love it!, especially if it is on a lawn. Also nice dogs and friendly cats, slowly will like eachother. We used our female rabbit to train our kitten to be friendly because the rabbit would scare the kitten when ever it chewed on her. The BEST thing we could do thou is leave her free in the chicken coop! She loves the chicken's attention and after a while we adopted another female and if you do this, although it is not suggestion if it is not done properly, we but the new rabbit in a very open wirey cage inside the chicken coop. After a week of this we let the new rabbit free and they fought a little bit, but now they are perfectly fine. They even groom eachother, and my rabbits a LOT calmer. If you don't have a big area like a chicken coop or a dog run i suggest the harness, even if you attach it to the roof, so she can only run around 10-20 feet, it is great (they love freedom)
Good luck

Try:
paper bags, cardboard boxes of all sizes, toilet paper or paper towel tubes, paper towels, different towels, baby keys and rattles, washed pinecones, cat toys (Like stuffed mice) bird toys, washed milk jug caps, plastic slinkies, washed coke bottles (fill them with bunny treats for extra fun!), tennis balls, and straws.
Do something extra with your outdoors playpen;
Include ramps with all sizes, straw bales, balls, and various toys. Take him out at least twice a day and lure him to run on the ramps by running with his favorite treat.
It should keep him entertained.

My bunny seemed bored,so I adopted another one.Don't make the same mistake i did though.I thought that two unfixed females would get along,and I was very wrong.If you plan on getting another bunny for company,It would be better to get a bunny of the opposite sex.Did you try letting your bunny out of it's cage in a closed room?

Get him a stuffed toy or two. Mine love them. Even if he's on the other side of the room, whenever I pick hits 'friend' up, he'll come running to get it. He'll even chase it or more happily.
Be sure to interact with him plenty. Sometimes they just want attention and petting.

all pets get bored. you need to provide some stimulation - like hide his food if various parts of his cage - try other foods too. My bunny always loved dandilion greens pulled up from the lawn.
but some toys too - like a kong, and hide some food in it as well.

get him a friend in the form of another rabbit? Obviously make sure one of them are done, and get one of the opposite sex.
Or you could dress up as a rabbit to keep him company.

If he's friendly and not wild, section off a room or a section of room, take him out and let him play (make sure there are no cords or anything that he can get hurt on or ruin) and play with him. He'll love you!
