You can buy toys for bunnies on line or in pet stores. often bunnies, like children, like the box things came in as much or more than more expensive toys. phone books and empty paper towel rolls are good. shoe boxes with layers of newspaper is also good. some bunnies like hard plastic balls with a bell inside. just make sure that it's bunny safe and be prepared to have your bunny turn it's back on whatever you try. also remember bunnies do get bored and you need to keep finding things to amuse them. best of luck.

Check the dog section of a department store or grocery or a local pet store, many stores have "veggie bones" for dogs, and they're equally safe for rabbits and other animals. They're also very good for the teeth. We used to give our chinchilla the carrot ones as treats. But don't get the other bones or chew toys, as your rabbit will be able to chew through these and they will make it sick. Only the veggie bones.
Also, depending on the size of your rabbit, the toys and hiding spots that are safe for rodents should be okay for rabbits.

Simple Items to Prevent Boredom and Keep Your Bunny Active
Many owners are surprised to find out how playful their rabbits are. Most rabbits will appreciate a selection of fun toys, which can be as simple as a cardboard box or empty paper towel roll.
Toys will help keep your rabbit physically active and prevent boredom. A bored rabbit is much more likely to become destructive or even depressed and overweight. Deprived of toys and play things, your rabbit may turn to your furniture and other belongings as chew toys, or even dangerous things like electrical cords. Experiment with a variety of toys to find out what is entertaining to your rabbit, and continue to provide new toys (or at least rotate the ones he/she has).
While a good selection of toys will help keep your rabbit away from things you do not want him or her chewing on, the toys you provide must be safe too.

If your rabbit is interested in eating one type (e.g. plastic, cardboard, etc.) of toy, switch to another type. Watch for soft rubber items or plastic parts that can be eaten and cause gastrointestinal problems or blockages. While your rabbit will likely enjoy shredding paper and cardboard, make sure he/she is not ingesting much of it.
A huge variety of items can make good rabbit toys. You might not find them marketed as rabbit toys, and some are things you will have around the house. Be creative and pay attention to how your rabbit seems to like to play, and you may come up with ideas of your own (just pay close attention to safety). Some ideas:
cardboard tubes from toilet paper and paper towel rolls
paper bags
cardboard boxes (especially a closed box with two or three rabbit sized entrance holes cut in the sides)
cardboard concrete forms or large PVC pipes for tunnels (make sure bunny can't get stuck!)
untreated wicker baskets or other wicker items (a wicker tunnel other items are available at the online stores listed below)
hard plastic cat balls with a bell inside (make sure your bunny isn't chewing up and swallowing the plastic though)
hard plastic baby toys such as rings, links, keys, rattles, etc.
parrot toys and bells
kitty condos (the shorter ones), tunnels, platforms
towels
small straw whisk broom
straw balls ( you can get the ones meant as hamster houses; for added enjoyment fill with timothy hay)
box full of shredded paper (preferably ink free - you can sometimes get unprinted newsprint roll ends from the local newspaper printer)
fresh branches from apple trees
dried pine cones
large rubber ball

You can get little toys such as balls and fruit shapes that are strong enough for them to chew and gnaw at. These are good for their teeth and give them fun as they push them around.
