For serious rabbit owners only, NO rabbit meat lovers need reply: I wanted to know if any had neat ideals for rabbit toys, My rabbit refuses to play her chew her toys, she will only play and chew the carpet and or wires unwanted things, I love in a apartment so its hard to hide everything bad from her. I have dont mind following her and watching her, but when I am always saying NO this NO that or claping my hands I think either scare her or get on her nerves then she just runs.. So any know of toys besides rabbit toys she might like? she is 3 months also she will be fixed in 2 months, thanks

First of all, thank you for being a responsible rabbit owner and getting your bunny spayed. It's the best thing you can do for your bunny. My house rabbit is the best thing in my life. She's fun to play with!
Cardboard. Cardboard. Cardboard. Seriously, most rabbits have a fetish for cardboard. I got my bunny this cardboard castle from bunnyluv.com that she looooves....
Apple tree branches and sticks are great for their chewing urges. I bought aquarium tubing to put over the cables and wires that show and tempt the little lovey to chew on. My bunny likes to chew on my couch, and spraying a little perfume on the area they chew helps alot. You can also spray it on carpet to stop them from pulling at a certain spot, like a corner. It doesn't hurt bunnies, but is a food deterant.
She also likes to throw things around. I got an old pill case and put a pebble in it, and she loves to throw it and go get it again. I think she just likes the noise.
Seagrass is great for their chewing too. You can get seagrass mats from Target or Willow balls (untreated!) from any arts and crafts store.
Have you thought about getting a puppy play pen? I made my bunny a little habitat that is completely safe for her to play in. I lay down an old sheet so she can't pull at the carpet and throw toys in there, with her litterbox and some food, and she's happy as a clam. Let's me sit back and relax instead of following her around while she's out playing.
My bunny is also a rearranger. I gave her an old towel to bunch up, rearrange and redecorate in her cage. It will entertain her for HOURS.
There are some great sites out there for more info on more toys and general house rabbit ownership.

Not all rabbits like to play with toys. Mine don't. She might just not like the taste of her toys. Or she is gnawing on wire to wear her teeth down. I give my rabbit a block of wood and a mineral lick to chew on. It really helped! Also the younger the rabbit the more things they seem to chew on. Hope this helps!

My sister and I had rabbits for awhile. My rabbits liked chewing on everything too! A nice treat for them is to take an empty toilet paper roll or paper towwl roll and put some hay or grass in it. My sister's rabbit liked to push a mini basketball around. You just have to experiment and see what your rabbit likes! There are also many websites with neat ideas as well. Good luck!
Ooh, my rabbits loved chewing on paper plates too!

as many people suggested, toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls are great toys. I got my rabbit so many toys and she refuses to use any of them but she does love her cardboard. Also sometimes I take old shoe boxes and cut out a hole big enough for her to fit through and some small windows on the sides so she can sit inside and chew on it as she pleases.

Try a cardboard scratcher used for cats (without the catnip). Rabbits like chewing on the cardboard...
Also try a cat scratcher that is covered in carpet. Soft, untreated wood, might also be another option.
Best of luck.

Toilet paper rolls are wonderful (and cheap!) toys for all rodents. Wood/sticks from outdoors, also.
My rabbit LOVED to chew up shoe boxes.

Get a paper bag from the grocery store and she will love to hop in it.
