Enrichment.

Has anyone got any good ideas for enrichment?

Once the new cage gets here I wnlant to make sure they've enough to do to keep them content. So far I've got a Hay cube, corner forest fleece, couple of fleecy snuggle tunnels.

The best enrichment you can give them is a HUGE pile of hay. They really love it. They run through it, make hay tunnels in it, sleep in it, hide in it and eat their way out, fall asleep on the top of it, poop on it, wee on it and carry on eating it (it tastes nicer with a bit of "seasoning" apparently). Here is our guide to enrichment.

Yeah I do put 2 huge piles of hay in the current cage, the new one will give me plenty more space to put even bigger ones in for them. Willow in particular gets very excited at hay replenishment time
