Rabbit foraging and enrichment activities
Wild rabbits spend much of their day searching for food and digging. These activities bring some of that into your rabbit’s run, mostly with hay, cardboard and their usual greens.

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.
Hidden greens hunt
Your rabbit's leafy greens hidden in different spots around the run, so they have to find them.
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.
🌿 Sensory
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.
How we choose these activities
Every activity is written from published guidance — AKC, ASPCA, Cornell University, International Cat Care, Ohio State's Indoor Pet Initiative, the House Rabbit Society and the Rabbit Welfare Association — and each page links to its sources. The safety note says when to stay with your rabbit, and "what to watch for" tells you when a game is too hard.
