A rabbit chewing through wooden toys that fast is actually a sign of a really strong, healthy chewer — but I understand why it's concerning, especially if splinters are involved. Florida Whites tend to be compact but surprisingly determined little chewers. Before I point you in a better direction, can you tell me whether your rabbit is free-roaming indoors, in a hutch, or a mix of both?
She's mostly in a large indoor pen but gets a couple of hours free-roaming in the evenings. The wooden toys just vanish within a day or two — I was finding sharp bits on the floor and it scared me.

That's a totally valid concern — sharp wooden splinters can cause real mouth or gut damage. So the issue isn't her chewing drive, which is healthy and normal, it's that standard balsa or pine toy wood just isn't dense enough to withstand her. What kinds of things has she been getting? Just the basic wooden blocks and rings, or have you tried anything woven or layered?
Mostly the wooden rings and little dumbbells you see everywhere. I tried a wicker ball once but she shredded that in one sitting too.

Right, so she needs something with more resistance and complexity — something that slows her down and engages her brain rather than just giving her something to destroy. Wicker is too loose and airy for a chewer like her. What I'd steer you toward is the Rosewood Naturals Trio of Fun Activity Toy. It combines compressed hay, loofa, and seagrass in a layered format that takes real effort to work through. The density means even a committed chewer like your girl will spend meaningful time on it rather than demolishing it in one go. It's also fully digestible, so no splinter risk at all.
That sounds much better. Is it something she'd actually be interested in, or is it one of those things rabbits just ignore?

Florida Whites tend to be curious and food-motivated, so if you tuck a few small pieces of dried herb or a bit of hay inside the layers when you first introduce it, she'll be into it immediately. Once she's worked out that engaging with it gets results, she'll come back to it on her own. The variety of textures — the rough seagrass versus the softer loofa — also keeps it interesting longer than a single-material toy. It's one of the better options on Amazon UK for rabbits who need durability and digestibility combined.
Great, I'll order that today. Should I be rotating toys to keep her from getting bored of even that?
inparticular.ai
Yes, rotation makes a real difference. Even a toy she loves becomes background furniture if it's always there. Swap it out every few days with something else — a paper bag stuffed with hay, a cardboard tube, a toilet roll packed with dried grass — then bring the Rosewood one back and it feels new again. For a rabbit with her chewing drive, the goal is novelty and challenge, not just volume of stuff.
