Hungry Bunny
I found this toy while looking up affordable alternatives to Sony’s Aibo. Zoomer is a brand from Spinmaster that makes the $100 Playful Pup, which barks and rolls around the floor like Aibo. But it’s the $30-$40 Hungry Bunny that eats and poops paper food that caught my eye instead.
The Hungry Bunniesare adorable, yet ridiculous. Like real rabbits, they just lay around and eat what you put into their mouths. You can “make” food for the bunny by using the included stencil to draw and cut out your own creations. The varying types of food include—what else?—paper carrots, paper popsicles, and paper ice cream. After the bunny eats, listen for the “magical” sound of the plastic toy defecating the paper it just shredded to bits with its tiny teeth. It’s the circle of life!
