Cage accessories - 02/15/21 02:35 PM
Hi everyone, I don't have babies yet but am planning, researching, and gathering supplies ahead of time. I am an avid crafter/builder so I plan to make most of my own cage supplies, including the cage. I am aware of the materials to avoid for the actual cage. My question is about the accessories.
I see many pictures online of cage set-ups. Some are minimal, some are a hot mess, some are bright and colorful, some have materials that seem to match the human home decor. My question is, can suggies see color? Do they seem to enjoy the bright things? Or do they prefer earth tones like the forest would have? Besides anti-pill fleece, what other materials do y'all use to keep multiple textures?
I know they need a lot of toys for enrichment and foraging. I know to stay away from rope, yarn, fabric that can fray. Do they like toys that make noise? Like cat balls with bells and baby toys that crinkle? Do y'all put safe branches in there for climbing and jumping on? What sort of creative things do you use?
