1. **Tunnel Toys**: Hedgehogs love to explore tunnels. You can use cardboard tubes (like those from toilet paper or paper towels) or even larger cardboard boxes. Cut holes in the boxes to create a maze for your hedgehog to explore. Ensure there are no sharp edges and that everything is safe for chewing.
2. **Hedgehog Balls**: You can make a simple ball by crumpling up paper or using a small, soft ball that is safe for your hedgehog to push around. Just make sure it’s not too small to avoid choking hazards.
3. **Digging Box**: Fill a shallow box with shredded paper or safe bedding material. Hide treats or toys in it for your hedgehog to dig and search for. This mimics their natural foraging behavior and keeps them entertained.
4. **Hanging Toys**: Use safe materials like sisal or untreated wood to create hanging toys. You can attach small pieces of fruit or vegetables to entice your hedgehog to play with them.
5. **Fabric Toys**: Sew together small pieces of soft fabric to create a plush toy. Ensure there are no small parts that could be chewed off. You can also stuff it with soft materials that are safe for hedgehogs.
6. **Puzzle Feeders**: Create a puzzle feeder by placing treats in a container with holes that are just big enough for your hedgehog to reach in but not too big that they can get everything out at once. This encourages them to work for their food.
Always supervise your hedgehog while they play with DIY toys to ensure they are safe and not chewing on anything harmful. Rotate toys regularly to keep their environment stimulating and engaging!
