answers1: It would be helpful if you created an account rather than
posting anonymously. That helps answerers to see all the
rabbit-related questions you ask and helps form a picture as to what
you already know so we don't repeat ourselves. <br>
<br>
I looked through your list of rabbit stuff (I think I clicked on all
of them!). One thing to start with is that you may want to wait and
see the personality of your rabbit before getting too many
accessories. Some rabbits will totally ignore chew toys while others
will actually play with them. Just depends on the individual rabbit.
<br>
<br>
All of the seagrass and wicker balls and mats are great. Most rabbits
do enjoy tearing those to shreds. (That is what they do with those, so
they are considered consumable.) <br>
<br>
The rubber food tray is not advised. It isn't necessary and will
likely be chewed. That could cause gut blockage for bunny. Skip it.
<br>
<br>
The cute ceramic bowls (carrot and cabbage) are fine. Just know that
bunny may try to toss them about. So if they are put on tile, they may
break. The 20 oz size may work for greens (when bunny is slowly
introduced to those). The 16 oz size will be rather large for pellets.
A 5-7 lb rabbit only gets 2 oz (1/4 cup) per day. <br>
<br>
The feeder/water fountain can't be used for pellets since pellets must
be limited and measured. It won't be great for water either because a
water bowl needs to be cleaned more often - not waiting until after
the main reservoir is empty. I'd suggest instead either a heavy
ceramic crock (heavier than the other ones you have) or one of those
bowls that twists onto a clamp. (photo attached) <br>
<br>
The grooming kit is only half good. The pin brush cannot be used on a
rabbit's delicate skin. A brush made for a human infant is safe, or a
special grooming comb. The chew treat should not be used since they
don't say what it is. <br>
<br>
The collapsible cat tunnel is fabric and will probably be chewed by
bunny. Look for ware plastic tunnel (large - size) instead OR a
cardboard tunnel. Plain cardboard boxes make the best rabbit toys.
Just cut out doors and windows. Bunny will chew them up and they can
easily be replaced. <br>
<br>
The activity zone rabbit toy is way over-priced at $70. Bunny will
have just as much fun with a cardboard box. Plus, depending on your
bunny, he may totally ignore that toy. <br>
<br>
The harness is a huge no. It is not safe. Most harnesses sold are not
safe. And those that are safe, are only safe if used properly. Only
experienced agility trainers are able to properly and safely fit a
rabbit harness. So unless you know someone like this, a harness is not
advised. The following page explains which are safe and which are not:

More important than accessories is the housing itself. (Sorry. Don't
know if you've already asked about this.) Having roomy housing and a
bunny-proofed area for daily exercise is key. Hay is also not only
necessary for a bunny's diet but it also keeps a bunny busy as well.
They spend much time munching on hay. For a bunny, munching on hay can
be as much fun as any toy they may have. <br>
<br>
Here are a few other ideas for toys: <br>

And here at the following link, you can see how something as simple as
a near-empty raisin container can provide loads of fun: <br>
