what toys do your degus love?

[mel]

Having only had my degus for 1 week it would be good to have some ideas from other owners as to what toys (whether homemade of bought) their degus like best just to give me and others new ideas.
I let my degus out 'free ranging' today for the first time in a safe room and they had a whale of a time although getting them back in their cage was difficult even with oats as encouragement!
Whilst out they had lots of boxes and tubes to play in but their favourite thing of all was an old pop up laundry basket (those cheap fabric ones that pop up when you want to use them) which has a slit in the top to push dirty clothes through. I laid it on the floor and they spent most of their time in there rolling madly around the room!

LOL, I can picture that, and it made me giggle

Mine just love space to run around, tubes, tunnels etc. That and a couple of people sitting on the floor to be climbed on

I've been wondering about this as well. Mine seem to like toilet roll tubes with some still left on, and they used to climb through them but they're too big for that now, so we're going to find carpet tubes instead. They also seemed to have a fantastic time with a cardboard box.
I found these on Ebay, but I don't know if they're suitable:

I've just ordered a similar wooden ball from zooplus as I needed to add £1 to my order to get free delivery. It has a ball inside too though. Hoping they like it when it arrives!
