Hidden greens hunt
Your rabbit's leafy greens hidden in different spots around the run, so they have to find them.
What you need
- Rabbit-safe leafy greens
- Hay (rabbits) — optional
- Cardboard box — optional
How to do it
- Split the day's leafy greens into small bunches.
- Hide them in different places around the run or play area: under a hay pile, inside a box, behind a tunnel.
- Change the hiding places every day.
- Remove any greens that haven't been eaten by the end of the day.
⚠️ Safety
Supervision: Safe to leave once your pet knows it.
Use only greens on your rabbit welfare charity's or vet's list of safe vegetables and herbs, washed. Introduce any new green slowly.
👀 What to watch for
Leave a green in plain sight the first few times so your rabbit learns the game.

Cardboard box fort
A cardboard box with bunny-sized doorways: a hideout, a lookout and a chew toy in one.
Fleece digging blanket
An old fleece blanket on the floor for your rabbit to push, bunch up and dig into.
Hay-stuffed cardboard tube
A paper-towel tube packed with hay, with a few leafy greens or pellets tucked inside, for your rabbit to pull apart and forage from.
Rabbit digging box
A cardboard box filled with shredded paper and hay for your rabbit to dig in, with a few greens buried inside.
Scatter-feed in the hay
Instead of a bowl, the small daily pellet portion is sprinkled through the hay, so your rabbit has to search for it.
