Foraging Toys

Foraging toys are a leading enrichment tool for hamsters and gerbils, encouraging natural digging and hoarding behaviors. What matters most when comparing options is how well a toy sparks exploration while fitting a habitat's space and the animal's size. Choosing the right toy focuses on safe materials, engaging textures, and size-appropriate challenges that promote activity and mental stimulation. Durability, non-toxic materials, and easy cleaning keep maintenance simple and safety high. Varied textures and hidden treats extend interest and reduce boredom-related behaviors like chewing cage bars.
