Not sure where to wonder for the ideas on making better foraging toys....tried a toothbrush topper...nope got in....tried a pill box....nope got into even faster!!!! Smarts ones I tell...anyhoo...can anyone let me know or point me plz into the harder direction on some toys. THANX!!! Oh and what the heck is rexlace??? Never heard of it and not sure if here in Canada. Any help will be highly appreciated!!!
TIA!!

Rexlace is a flat plastic cord most commonly used for doing the 4 sided braid.

A lot of people use it for toy making, if you do I recommend dipping the knots into boiling water to shrink them up. Otherwise you will have your toys tore apart. They love untying knots.

That plastic used in making those bracelets in the 80's????

It's plastic lacing for making jewelry mainly friendship bracelets.

Have you tried a puck washed out(breath savers candy container)? I bought a small box that had levers that lock down the lid at an office supply store.

Easter eggs hanging on fleece rope: drill a hole at each end and thread fleece through. Or just lay the egg on bottom of cage. Hidden .

Thank you....will look into a few of those!!!

Rexlace is a name brand of craft lace, and is as described. I use it often for toy making and haven't had any problems with knots coming undone or being undone, but that my be just my sometime unconventional gliders

I personally feel that it should be okay that they can get into their forage toys. Placement is another way to create a challenge if that's what you're looking for. I have used half Easter eggs, plastic shot glasses and other open containers (including toothbrush covers). I try to place them where they need to climb out on a limb (perch), a swinging toy, or even have to hang upside down to get to. I also place them where they can reach part of the toy and have to pull it closer to them to reach the treat.

Thank you Terry!!! Now it's up to me to get creative. All ideas will be explored!! Yay!! This should be entertaining!!!

I forgot to mention what I call novelty candy containers. I have some mini M&M containers the the lid pops off the end. Also toddler snack containers (usually in the infant section).

Honey in a straw. Cut a straw in half dip one end in honey ( just a drop or two) and form a triangle by bending and push ends closed. Hang around the cage.

Note: I purged my gadget and toy tote that I store change out toys for them After I posted earlier and found more ideas.

Hope this helps.

Today is my grocery shopping day and you have inspired me to look at novelty candies for more safe toys! Thanks!

What types of treats do you guys put in your foraging toys?

Yoggies, pine nuts, pumpkin seed, their kibble, sunflower seed, dried fruit, grapes, peas... Some use cups for mealies, but I have had them escape.
