I take small plastic coke or water bottles, let them dry, put about 3 pcs. of dry dog food in them and squish all the air out and recap. Mine love them! Also I buy the large pig or cow ears that are dried and do not stain the carpet or materials or smell bad and they love them. Another toy is stuffed animals that are remote control or that have batteries that make them giggle or roll over. If you put up a small fence barrier or put them in a wire cage and turn them on it drives them nuts. Also you can buy a battery operated car from the baby department that moves if touched and can be friction moved and will run into something backup and go anyway but loose. Mine get vicious with some of these. I frequent thrift stores because many folks do not buy batteries for novel walking talking dogs and you can get them for practically nothing. I also take a inch wide piece of elastic that is about 1 foot long and tie soft long toys to it and tie it to something that will keep it about 1 foot off the floor. They are all the time tugging with it and trying to take off with it. I once bought a battery operated motion sensor ball that rolls if touched and makes all kinds of sounds. They try to carry it by the little tags at the top and it is almost too heavy for them but they think they have a prize! And lastly, I put all their toys in a little opening in a cat thingee and as soon as I put one in they go immediately to take them out one right after the other. I hope one of these ideas work for you. Thanks for sharing your idea. It is so important to give them stuff to do. You are a great furbaby parent to provide play activities.
