Default Re: Safe toy materials for inside cage - fleece, etc.?

Agree the chinchilla house is great. It is very large though - it would take up quite a bit of space and be heavy. It probably wouldn't fit on a shelf space wise, so best place would be on the base of the cage with the substrate piled around the outside of it, so it's stable and can't be tunnelled under.

I suspect a ham would fill it with substrate anyway to make it cosy, and possibly hoard in it too. It could make a good sandbath although I find sand in a potty is enough sand for Syrians - they don't seem that bothered about sandbaths generally. Both ours have just kicked all the sand out (trying to dig to the bottom to see if there's a way out!). It would be good for a cool place to go when then weather's hot as well.

Only thing is it's quite expensive and you may end up finding there isn't room for it - surprising how a cage fills up! But it could then be good just to put in during hot weather eg.
