Default Playpen

Hi Everyone, me again.

So I have finally got a playpen set up for Khaleesi. Its made of those plastic interlocking cubes that soneone posted about on here a while ago ( see pic)

She has been in a few times now but she doesnt play with anything in there, just chews the tape covering the gaps at the bottom.

Any advice on what I can do to get her to stop goong for it and actually play? There are toys in there, a huge wheel she has never been in and treats either in toilet roll tubes on the egg holder thing

It's still very empty, I would put more things in to interest her, even scrunched up paper, a few boxes & tubes, maybe scatter some substrate around or make a box with some substrate, more to explore really.
Have you tried getting in there with her or do you interact with her while she's in there?
There's a thread here that might give you some ideas.

You could lure her away with treats. Maybe make a maze out of cardboard. I haven't tried I saw these ideas on You Tube videos

Ive added a few more bits and she has finally been on the wheel, which she seemes to enjoy. Also added a little digging box for her, two new tubes and a hidey box. Seems to be a bit more content

That's good, try to keep it varied & interesting for her & I'm sure she'll get to like it even more.
