You can play with your rabbit by given them a toilet roll or card board boxes & toys, but to actually have a one on one with your rabbit just pet the rabbit... if i lie on the floor mine will jump on me and sometimes i make an arch and they run under me, and rub there chin over me, this is a good sign as they like it and rubbing there sent over me.

Different rabbits like to play in different ways. The House Rabbit Society (rabbit.org) has a number of articles about play behaviour and appropriate toys. I'll summarize below. Rabbits need to play for mental stimulation and physical exercise, and it's good to provide them with toys and take the time to play with them because if you don't they'll usually "play" with your furniture, baseboards, and electrical wires. You should observe your rabbit and discover what kinds of games s/he likes to play. Some common ways rabbits like to play are: - burrowing and digging: provide a box or basket full of shredded paper or junk mail or litter material, or a cardboard tunnel stuffed with newspaper at one end, etc. - shredding: provide a Yellow pages or straw broom they can call their own - throwing, rolling: provide metal or hard plastic toys with no edible parts, like baby ring toys, keys, or rubber balls (do not give them balloons even though they love them: if they break the noise might scare them and the leftover pieces of balloon might kill them) - hitting, boxing: provide something partially immobile yet flexible, like a mobile, or a slinky draped over something - bunching: provide hand-towels or blankets which they can be free to push, pull, bite, and generally "organize" (this is practically the only game my rabbit likes) - chewing: provide a wide variety of items, such as wicker baskets, logs and sticks, pine cones, cardboard boxes, etc. - climbing: provide safe surfaces to climb on, such as a series of stable boxes, or even better, a cat tree DISCLAIMER: If you rabbit starts eating any of his toys, take them away from him and try something else. (This is my rabbit's problem. Give him a Yellow Pages and he won't shred it: he'll eat it.) Also make sure anything you give your rabbit is not toxic to him (stray wood picked up from outdoors is generally not wise unless you know what type of wood it is, that it isn't toxic to rabbits, and that it doesn't have any treatments on it, like varnish or insecticide).

Another good way to keep your rabbit entertained, although this isn't really playing, is to keep him in mind when setting up your rooms. If you can leave a space between the sofa and the wall, for instance, your bunny might love running through that area. Or you can consider using a screen instead of blinds over a certain window, and leaving space so the bunny can get behind it. Or you can set up a small tunnel so that it's angled into a particular area, like a hidden corner or under some furniture. That kind of thing.

You can use toys with your rabbit. They love tossing things, digging in boxes and shredding the yellow pages. They will push a ball around or play with parrot toys. You can get down on the ground with your rabbit and using a treat, get your bun to come over and investigate a new toy. Make sure all toys are safe. They must be untreated by chemicals, have no loose parts, and if the rabbit manages to chew something off, throw the toy away immediately. Here is a list of simple homemade toys: * Old books or phone books * Plush bunny to groom * Old blanket or towel, to bunch up and rearrange * Paper bag or box of hay (e.g., a cereal box or any small box) * Plastic keys (the kind for babies) * Piece of wood for chewing * Container (empty plastic butter bowl, etc.) with something inside to make it rattle * Untreated wicker baskets * Rolled up newspaper, paper grocery bags * Cardboard toilet paper, paper towel rolls or paper cups (not the wax kind) * Carpeted cat condo * Cardboard tunnels * Untreated grass mats * Set up an obstacle course. Use cardboard boxes, tunnels, and baskets. Just make sure it is not too high, for the rabbit's safety.
