Foot Toys

[NicoleN]

I don't know about everyone else, but I seem to have quite a hard time finding decent foot toys for Sisqo. I found a website today that has a pretty nice variety of them, and toys for foraging too!

I buy Iggy baby toys as foot toys (not just baby toys, I do have some bird/dog toys as well)...does anyone else do this?

Hamlet's favorite foot toy is his rubber cat ball with a bell in it ... And, I believe that it goes beyond this ... If you look in the galleries and you see pictures of Black_Nova's blue and golds I think he has infant HUMAN activity areas for them to use!

That is a great site, I did have a baby gym, but it only lasted about 3 months and was totally destroyed. Bucc really loved it. I use cat, dog, baby, and kids toys, They love em.

They also love the rawhide dog bones, cheap plentiful, and last a long long time.

The only thing about small animal toys that kinda gives me the creeps is what the material is made out of, and if it could be toxic to birds.

I've gotten Sisqo a few of the ferret toys that are plastic and have a bell on them. He tore them up before I even knew it, so I'm not getting those again. Too flimsy

Most animal toys are safe for all animals now, mainly because a lot of people have a lot of different animals.

I'm also a bit over cautious with toys though, and all and any toys I get for any of my lot are given a good wash, before they are given to the animal. I don't like the idea of how many people can and will handle the toys. I know I do so others are gonna do the same thing. Then they are given a good squirt with bird safe disinfectant, usually the same stuff that I clean the cages with

That is absolutely brilliant, I love it,

That would cost a fortune if you bought it in a pet store.

They seem to be enjoying it a lot.

im sure if you wanted to you could just buy like 20 dog tug toys and make it fit for a grey! lol and instead of a tennis ball thing you can use a frisbee for teh center! or you can justbuya few hoola-hoops and tie em together so tehre like that. That actually what the original design was with hoola-hoops.

see heres the hula hoop design:

Yeah was thinking the same thing, Kito would love it, Bucc would treat it with total distrust and hatred for a couple of months, but would love it when he was used to it. MAYBE.
