More Rabbit Toys: Paper Tunnels

I’ve been experimenting with tunnels for Scamp, here is a really easy to make newspaper tunnel….
Step 1: Lay out a row of sheets of newspaper, overlapping each sheet by approximately a third. I used 4 sheets.
Step 2: Roll the paper around something round, such as a cake tin. I use a shop brought tunnel.
Step 3: Roll over the ends to stop the tunnel unravelling. Fold outwards, like turning up trousers. You only need to fold over about an inch, do it twice to keep it secure.
That’s it – you should have a rabbit tunnel, as demonstrated by Scamp:
"Do I have too?" "Okay, but I'm going to pull a funny face."
Of course, it’s easy to chew to pieces but it’s quick and free to make so shredding is just part of the fun. I used a local paper but if you pick something bigger like the telegraph you could get a lovely long tunnel.
"Hi, can I have treats now?"

Ooohh that looks better than the store bought ones, because the floor of yours flattens out! My rabbits don’t use the store bought ones because they roll.
Love these great toy ideas. My bunnies are playing with the toilet paper tube balls right now, trying to get at their dried banana treat inside! Took me all of 2 minutes to make 2. Thanks!!
do you leave the cake tin or whatever in it?
Hi Lauren, no take it out afterwards it just makes it easier to make the tunnel shape.
