Question Cardboard DIY ideas for playpen

I have attached a photo of my syrian Georgies play pen
I put a few of the toys from his cage in there at play time and as you can see I have made some cardboard toys too but it still feels empty and have ran out of ideas on what else I could make or add for more enrichment! Any ideas?? 😊

If you have any tubes used for things like toilet paper they could be a good addition- though if Georgie is on the bigger side it might be a good idea to cut a line down one side so he doesn't get stuck.

A maze might be a fun addition if you have enough cardboard or a spare shoe box. Tents, platforms, towers, etc are all fairly simple and fun things as well. There are also several videos by ErinsAnimals and Victoria Raechel on youtube showing how to make a bunch of things with cardboard.

Thanks so much for these ideas! I think I am going to try and make a maze as I do have a shoe box and think hed love this, I could put a few sunflower seeds through out it for him to find 😊
