Our bunnies love the rustling noise these tents make and spend most of their time digging on it, jumping over and on it and tossing it about.

How a Collapsible rabbit tent toy can help you bunny proof your home
It is important for your rabbit's wellbeing to have lots of places of shelter to explore and rest in. Unfortunately, many of these narrow places such as under or behind your couch, under your bed or wooden furniture can be unsuitable for your rabbit to play in.
Couches can have rough unfinished surfaces with dangerous staples and nails that poke out. Plastic covers can also be dangerous as they contain long strands of synthetic material that would cause harm if eaten.
Damage can also build up in these areas which can often go unnoticed till it is to late when expensive repairs are needed.
This is why providing acceptable forms of shelter is essential to keep your rabbit out from under your furniture and out of harm's way.

Our review of the Rabbit tent and tunnel system
This toy was great for keeping our bunnies amused. Every time we set it out differently our bunny would find exploring it irresistible, that said there were treats involved which was part of the fun.
It did take up quite a bit of room but was easy to step over and the novelty made it a lot more fun they a regular activity tunnel and made a lot less mess than some of the construction we have made from cardboard boxes and chew tubes.

Our review of the 3 way collapsible rabbit tunnel
We leave one of these out pretty much permanently as our bunny seems to be more comfortable with the shelter it offers in the room.
It's good because it breaks the room up a bit but is easy to step over. We have even stepped on it a few times and it always seems to spring back.
Our bunnies like the rustle noise it makes when they dig into it and spend more time jumping over and on it than running through it which is still good.
We like the peep hole in the center as we use this to drop some treats through which always encourages out rabbit to go inside.

We have hard slate floors in our home which are good for keeping clean, however they can be a bit cold at times, so we got one of these to provide a bit of comfort for our rabbits.

It's natural for rabbits to want safe places of shelter to relax in and keep out of harm's way.
Unfortunately, many of these narrow places such as under or behind your couch, under wooden furniture or your bed can be unsuitable for your rabbit to play in.

5Rabbit teepee hideout
Rabbit teepees are fabulous looking hideout toys made from natural materials that will offer your rabbit some shelter and comfort when they come out to play.
Rabbit Teepee's do very much the same job as a popup tent however they are a lot more attractive looking as they are made from more natural looking materials.
They are typically constructed from wood and cotton so there is less danger of your issues arising from your rabbit eating the synthetic material often found in popup tents.
They are, however, one of the more expensive rabbit shelter toys and may not be as hard-wearing as for instance a wooden shelter. The fabric and wood construction would be as much of a shelter as a chew toy, and I would not expect any pompoms or other tassels to last long.
You may find this toy hard to clean, which can be a problem anywhere a rabbit spends a lot of time as they will often have the odd accident.
That said if you do want to buy your rabbit a fancy shelter to sit in, they really do look a lot more attractive than many of the other wooden or plastic constructions that are available.
Our review of the Rabbit teepee hideout
We have not tried this toy out on our bunnies, our feeling is that it would not offer value for money. We think this toy may be more suitable for other pets such as a cat.
How a Rabbit teepee hideout can help you bunny proof your home
Every toy is a chew toy for a rabbit, and they will try to eat a lot of things that we would consider indigestible.
This can be a problem especially if they eat a lot of it, not only can they cause a lot of damage these materials can cause blockages in the digestion that can make them very unwell.
If your rabbit is a bit of a chewer, it's often best to choose a simple toy made from a material that you know is safe and that you can easily monitor how much of it your rabbits are eating in case it makes them unwell.
Overall
A great looking rabbit tent toy that also offers some comfort and shelter.Key features of the Rabbit teepee hideout
- This toy would be hard to keep clean which is always an issue where rabbit spend time
- Although it will damage easily if your rabbit likes to chew things it is made of natural materials compare to other pop-up tents
- An attractive but expensive hideout toy
