Repairing a Veg Patch Toy

I recently bought a veg patch toy for my rabbit. Paying £10 for it i expected it to last more than 3 days! Anyway Bambi destroyed it so i decided to repair it. 

All you will need to repair this is PVA wood glue and willow sticks. 

This is what it looked like, Bambi had ripped off the straw and paper. All that was left was the sisal string sides and the chipboard!



 This part you can do how you want. I glued the willow sticks 3 in each row. I then cut the straw to size and stuck that on.


 I then added some of the green paper Bambi had shredded of the play veg that go inside and the left over brown paper.

 Then let it dry overnight, I always let wooden toys dry for 24 hours. This is the finished product. It should last much longer now Bambi has wood on it.


Remember, don't worry about using wood glue. When you buy toys many have glue on already. This kind of toy for my rabbit is fine as she doesn't eat any of it she will simply shred it helping her teeth to wear down.
I would NOT recommend doing this for chinchillas or degus as they eat the bark of this type of item.
