I'm not sure you'd consider it a toy, but their favorite thing in their cage is always their cuddle cube. They've had a grand time chewing pockets in it, etc. It also makes a handy sleeping place when all the remodeling is complete.

Mine love their hammocks and they loved these:

Basically they love everything soft that they can sleep in. They also love Comf-E-Cubes which you can get from Petco or Petsmart, they play hide and seek in it. Mr. Green

They loved there Comf-E-cube, but it had to be thrown away, because they ripped it apart, and Eve stashed everything in it, including all of the omlet which was there New Years dinner, and I didn't feel like cleaning it out, so it went away.

Other than that they love there hammocks (well, some of them), boxes, etc.

it's not a toy... but my guys LOVE this cute log cabin thing I got at PJ's. I give them tissue paper (fresh every 2 days) and they pull it in there to nest. It's cute to watch them.

I've given the boys some new toys for their house. In addition to their old 'Tim-br house' I've added two Chinchilla ledges, 2 ferret tubes, ceramic tiles, a new water bottle on the bottom level a hamball in the corner for lookout/sleeping purposes, their timbr house, and a litter pan (which is used for storing food in their opinion)

ITs a lot more interesting than it was just yesterday morning..its sad, but theyre sleeping in the one spot without any toys in it..but c'est la vie. This is as much for me as for them LOL

The top picture shows how messy it is to change litter and move bags and organise boxes when you have 6 fats underfoot being buttheads. Pardon the mess ^_^

This shows the green ferret tube lifted upo to the top of the cage. I took all the other pictures with it down rest on the floor..but yes it was meant to be up top. They are dragging a paper bag halfway down theior step ramp in this pic, so dont mind it LOL

Sharing some new tasty water! MMM water!

My rat (Razzle) is terrified of the tubes. He screams like a little girl when I tried to put him in it (gently) and he was just like 'OMG MOM NO THATS SCARY STOPPIT!'

So he hates them, but loves the hamball. That doesnt make sense to me, since hamballs and tubes are very similar, but whatever LOL

You could try shoving some nesting material into the tube. That might give him the idea.

Razzle doesn't nest, otherwise that would be an awesome idea. He likes being able to get out as quickly as he gets in. He might just be a bit claustrophobic?
