Benefits of Enrichment Toys
Prevent Boredom & Stress
Rabbits are intelligent animals with complex behavioral needs. Enrichment toys help prevent boredom and alleviate stress by keeping them engaged and occupied, especially in confined spaces like cages or indoor environments.
Prevents Destructive Behaviours
Rabbits may engage in destructive behaviors like chewing on furniture or digging in inappropriate places out of boredom or frustration. Enrichment toys redirect these behaviors to more appropriate outlets, reducing the likelihood of damage to property.
Variety & Novelty
Introducing new enrichment toys regularly keeps rabbits mentally stimulated and prevents habituation to their environment. Rotating toys and providing a variety of options ensure continued interest and engagement.
