The first toilet roll rabbit toys went down well i.e. Scamp had fun destroying them. So, I thought we’d have a go at the cardboard balls<\/a> that Schuette<\/a> suggested. Scamp loves his treat ball and destroying things so they look like the perfect toy for him.<\/p>\n

First thing you do is chop the toilet roll tube (or kitchen roll) into slices about a centimetre (half an inch) across to make hoops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I found each toilet roll made about 6\/7 hoops and that was about right to make one ball.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you have your sections you push one over another, then another over those two, overlapping them at different angles to cover the gaps until you have a ball. At some point before the gaps get too small (usually the 2-3 hoop mark) you pop in something tasty. I started with pellets but found they fell out as soon as Scamp made a little hole so moved on to pieces of carrot and cabbage leaf.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you’ve got all the hoops added they should look something like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally you add a rabbit and it ends up looking like confetti!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a video of him enjoy them too. Thank you very much for the idea! We’ll be trying hay stuffed tubes next .. I think I’ll wait until just before cleaning time because I can see Scamp getting hay everywhere!<\/p>\n
