About rodents toys

Rodents, such as rats and mice, can benefit from having toys in their cages to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. Some ideas for rodent toys include:

Chew toys: Rodents need to chew to keep their teeth trimmed, so providing them with chew toys can help prevent dental problems. Options include wooden blocks, cardboard tubes, and mineral chews.

Exercise wheels: Exercise wheels allow rodents to get the physical activity they need to stay healthy. Look for wheels that are the appropriate size for your rodent and have a solid surface rather than wire bars to prevent injuries.

Tunnels and hiding places: Rodents like to explore and hide, so providing them with tunnels and hiding places can be a fun and enriching activity. Options include paper towel rolls, cardboard boxes, and plastic tubes.

Foraging toys: Rodents are naturally curious and enjoy searching for food, so providing them with foraging toys can be a fun way to encourage their natural behaviors. Options include food-dispensing toys and puzzle feeders.

Enrichment toys: Other types of enrichment toys that may be suitable for rodents include climbing toys, balls, and mirrors. Just be sure to supervise your rodent when using any toys to ensure they are used safely.
