How do you know when your rabbit is happy? Rabbits actually love to show
it!  If your rabbit flops on his side and just lies there with his eyes closed, you’ll
know all is right with his world. He might scare you the first time he does this, and
it’s not uncommon for a new rabbit owner to think something is wrong. Don’t
worry, your rabbit is just telling you he’s happy. It’s the happy flop. 

Then there’s the binky. If your rabbit binkies, you know he’s on top of the
world. Binkies are crazy happy dances, your rabbit will hop in the air, twirl his
head and spin around then maybe start running at top speed. Any rabbit owner
will attest to the great joy it brings to see their rabbit do the binky dance.

Keeping your rabbit content first and foremost is attending to his
chewing needs.  Rabbits absolutely love to chew. Phone books are a favorite
as they love to shred the pages, so make sure you keep all of your
old phone books (you might even ask your friends and family for theirs)
as they can go through them pretty quickly. 

Toilet paper and Kitchen towel rolls are also safe and popular chew toys for rabbits. To
make it even more fun, you can take a roll and stuff hay inside for them to dig out.

Boxes and paper bags are also a great source of entertainment, You can fill the paper bag with hay, or just
put an open paper bag on the floor for your rabbit to crawl into and dig. You’ll
be surprised at how long they can entertain themselves by playing
with the bag.

Cardboard boxes are also an incredibly easy source of entertainment. Take a
fairly large box and cut several doorways
and windows into it. (Rabbit’s always prefer to have at least two entrances.) Your
rabbit will love to go in and dig, chew (making the doorways or windows bigger)
and hide away. It’s also a great place to put your rabbit’s hay which he can eat as well as dig.   

Use your imagination and creativity, and you’ll find there are endless ways
to turn everyday cardboard boxes into a playground for your rabbit’s.
