Playpen ideas
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I wasn't sure where it should go!
I'm currently getting my hamster used to out-of-cage time in his playpen, which is a kids' pop-up ball pit. I give him some toys in there and sit in with him. He seems to enjoy it (he now hops straight into the mug I use for transporting him there, even without a treat to tempt him in) but after an initial explore, all he wants to do once he's in there is chew. He chews his toys, which is obviously fine, but will then start trying to chew my foot (maybe it tastes like cheese!) and the fabric floor/sides of the playpen!
I'm thinking of buying some cheap doormats to put on the floor of the playpen to stop him chewing holes in that - is that a good idea? I've also ordered him some more toys to mix it up and hopefully keep him occupied. Any other suggestions for how to make his playpen fun and discourage him from trying to chew his way out?!
