1. **Toilet Paper Roll Tunnel**: Take a cardboard toilet paper roll and cut it to different lengths. Hedgehogs love to explore tunnels, and this is an inexpensive way to provide them with one. You can even tape multiple rolls together to create a longer tunnel.
2. **Hiding Treats in a Box**: Use a small cardboard box filled with crumpled paper or shredded cardboard, and hide some of your hedgehog's favorite treats inside. This encourages natural foraging behavior and keeps them mentally stimulated.
3. **Fabric Snuffle Mat**: Cut strips of fleece fabric and tie them onto a rubber mat or a piece of cardboard. This will create a snuffle mat where you can hide treats. Your hedgehog will enjoy sniffing and foraging for the goodies.
4. **Egg Carton Puzzle**: Take a clean, empty egg carton and place treats in some of the cups. Close the lid and let your hedgehog figure out how to open it. This can provide a fun challenge and mental stimulation.
5. **Wooden Blocks**: If you have some untreated wooden blocks (make sure they're safe for pets), you can stack them or create a small maze for your hedgehog to explore. Just ensure there are no sharp edges.
Always supervise your hedgehog while they play with DIY toys to ensure their safety. Avoid using materials that can be harmful if ingested, such as plastic or anything treated with chemicals. Happy crafting!
