Patricia W Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I've got: Peckablock Treat Ball ( for hamsters - but they love it) Some greenery on a string A branch to perch on, go under, climb up A plant pot with soil in and which originally had a dandelion in - but has now been tipped up, the dandelion eaten and roots and soil systematically dissected - great fun It's kept them busy whilst this white stuff has been around.

dancing cloud Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Along with feeders/drinkers, my little monsters have 2 string bags with cabbage and apple in to chomp on every day (lettuce in summer), and 2 peckablocks. I put the old wooden roosting bars on top of 2 cheap shoe racks to give them something to perch on and a tunnel to walk through - you'd be surprised how much they love this - and they also perch on my stone bench, the 2 dustbins, the bedding bale and anything else they can get to. I don't think they get bored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 PS I should have explained that the Treat Ball can be filled with anything you like. I use either layers pellets or mixed corn or a mixture. It's the fact that it trickles out a grain/pellet at a time when you kick it that keeps them entertained.
