Try his favourite treat in an ice cube. It kept mine entertain for quite a while! Also toilet tubes, tubes from wrapping paper and drain pipes all make good tunnels! I have a little wooden swing I made for mine and they love it! Try going to B&Q and getting rope! It's cheaper than pet shops and even though it's thin my chippies have no trouble running on it! They also like bells, such as cat toys or anything else that makes a noise! =L

I dont quiet know but maybe install something thats really difficult to get to, like an observation post?? I know from my chips that their greatest yearn is curiosity. So with that, construct the cage with features a chippie would find interesting. Another, they love digging. Maybe compost.

I use old drainpipes hung from the roof with zip ties  :icon_flower: they enjoy the challenge of getting in and out.
