Rabbit Doesnt Play with Toys/ Chew

Question
Hi there--
I have an approximately three year old rabbit. One thing that I have always wondered about him, why does he not play with toys, chew things, or binky? He seems pretty happy, he follows me around like a puppy, he flops over and "purrs" when I pet him, but I have given him countless toys (toilet paper rolls, baby rings, store bought toys, ect.) and wooden chews and he just doesn't seem to like anything! He is very food motivated (won't touch a toy unless it has treats inside) and seems to always be looking for food, even though i feed him 3 times a day with plenty of hay, vegetables, and water. I've also wondered why he does not binky? I've seen countless stories of people talking about their rabbit binkying and it makes me feel like I'm not doing something I should be doing. Is there anything I could do to make him happier? I would really love him to do a binky just once :)
Thanks for taking the time to read and hope you could shed some light on my rabbit.

Hi,

it sounds like he's a happy guy.  Not all rabbits express happiness the same way.  The fact he flops and purrs when you pet him is a great expression of happiness.  It's just your guys' personality.  Sometimes the length of time you've had him can make a difference too.  They start to feel more secure in a place over the course of time, you might see this happen.  especially if he was adopted and maybe needs to work some trust and security issues out.

But it isn't unusual to have a bunny that doesn't do ALL the things we know they could do.  Clucking, purring, flopping over in happiness, dancing, running circuits, kisses, etc.  Not all do everything, and it's pretty much because of their personalities.  Or animalities if you think that's more accurate.

The only things I can think of is try spending more time with him at his level (floor) when he's out.  Or if he has a small part of a room work to gradually expand his area to give him greater range (bunny-proofing of course).  You could try wicker tents and tubes big enough for him to rest in/under from pet supply stores (busy bunny makes them).
