On behalf of Expert Village I'm Nicole. You wouldn't at first thought think that a reptile would require toys but even things such a stick that I provided for this ball python in this cage this is considered a type of toy for him. Cause they are climbers they like to come out and at night and explore and dig around and climb up and this is what he does as an activity. I also provided some sort of a toy for this cage over here. It doesn't look like a toy in here we have a decoration in the shelter and such but what he really likes to do is burrow. He is very fond of burrowing that is what he does for fun so I provided him with deep enough sand to where he can come out and scratch around and burrow and see whats underneath there. That is what he does for enjoyment. As far as the rodents go they don't require toys but they don't know how to get out of the cage a lot they really need to have something to do for an activity. He is very curious and do curious things and they do like to be entertained for the most part of the day. So I provided him with, it's actually a fur toy I picked this up in the bird section of the pet store. You would like to give your rat some sort of or any types of rodents some sort of bird toys the best thing I could recommend is for you to get something wood and metal. They do have bird toys that have plastic and rubber on them I don't recommend that for a rodent. Because they will chew right through it. If also provided a chew stick here and this provides fun for them they like to chew it and it keeps their teeth worn down as well. So this is something real important for them they also have some wood chips, it looks like she torn that one up already. For this Iguana here I provided him with the basking stick that is a type of toy for him because he really enjoys climbing up there. So they like to spend a lot of time in the trees this is what he does when he's trying to relax. Now he also gots a two story house which provides him with two different levels of pretty much a different environment. Up here he has his food and his water, his heat and down below he can cool off he has sticks to climb on and he has a very dense bush back here. It's artificial but it's very thick and very dense and Iguana's really enjoy stiffing about and burrowing into things. So this is his type of toys.
