Hi! I love making my own toys for my small animals.
Heres a few below. I have just started a blog with step by step for some of them and that can be found at mouseandstrawberry.blogspot.com

Wow, they're wicked! :) They look like rodent or parrot toys you would find in a pet shop, brilliant job!

Thanks, i wanted a pet shop look. 8-[
I have a little secret that can be found on my blog but i use these below. I then cut them to size and hole punch them. It's made of natural palm leaf.
I tend to use wire and sisal rope for the middle depending on what animal its for.

Ideal. :D I may have to pinch your idea, if you don't mind...? ;)

Not at all!
This is not the same make but i ordered it from here scarlett parrot essentials. Its only £2.99 for 9 meters of it. Its really colourful. :D

It's palm leaf or bamboo i can't remember but same as finger trap type things people buy for birds. It's a great material. My rabbit doesn't touch toys but she loves shredding this.

Yeah I see people buy it for birds, parrot especially seem to love shedding it. :)

That's wicked, I might have to give it a go. Cheers. :D
I was just about to fork out for some parrot toys to hang in the hammie cages, but I'll try this. Def the cheaper option! :)

Its a really good idea :)

If you do order from Scarletts parrot essentials they sell those bamboo finger traps too which my lot love chewing to shreds. They come in packs of 12 too and they can be hole punched for toy making.

I done this one with finger traps and wood i already had. You don't have to buy anything though, you can hole punch cardboard and paper just the same :)

Wow, its really hard to believe those are hand made, they definitely look like professional pet store toys. Now that's talent, haha.

Aww thank you but honestly anyone can do them. It's just tying the fiddly bits at the end to attach the clip :rolleyes:
