Rabbit Foraging Mat Toy
It is natural for your rabbits to want to forage for food and a Forage mat can satisfy this natural instinct.
They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but all typically made with pet-safe materials like those used in fleece blankets and have various folds that allow treats to be hidden in the nooks and crevasses.
Felt or other cloth foraging mats are machine washable.
Our review of the Rabbit foraging mat
We find these toys can be an effective way of giving our bunny some treats without him eating them in a frenzy.
We also had a bunny that used to chew its enclosure when we went to bed, so we used to drop some treats in one of these to keep him busy till we settled down which made him less needy.
How a Rabbit foraging mat can help you bunny proof your home
Rabbits are natural born foragers and in their natural environment are always on the lookout for new things to eat.
This behavior in your home, however, can mean they will end up trying to eat the wooden materials they find around them such as baseboards, wallpaper, and wooden furniture.
By providing a foraging toy you will hopefully avoid costly repairs caused by tugging up your carpet or chewing under your bed or behind your sofa.
This is why it is important to provide a foraging toy that will act as an acceptable alternative to this instinctive but also destructive behavior.
Overall
Good for keeping your rabbit occupied and making the treats last a bit longer.
