What you need

  • Old towel or blanket
  • Hay (rabbits) — optional

How to do it

  1. Lay an old fleece blanket or thick towel on the floor of the play area.
  2. Ruffle it into folds and tuck a little hay into the folds.
  3. Let your rabbit dig, push and rearrange it.
  4. Wash it when it gets dirty.

⚠️ Safety

Supervision: Watch the first few times.

Watch the first few times: digging and pushing is fine, but take it away if your rabbit starts eating the fabric. Use fabric without loose threads or holes that claws could catch in.

👀 What to watch for

Some rabbits show more interest once a few pieces of hay are tucked in.
