Do These Activities With Your Pets to Reduce Your Daily Stress!


Do these activities with your cold-blooded friend:

  • Make an Egg Carton Furniture:
    • Grab an egg carton(duh!), and scissors
    • First, clean egg carton and prepare it for use with your animal
    • Then, cut off the top the flat lid of the egg carton
    • Finally, place the bottom half of the carton in the enclosure(you can also use the too top)
  • Go collect some sticks, rocks, & leaves to put in your pet’s habitat
  • Make a ball pit!(packing peanuts are optional depending on your reptile)
  • Add in some scent enrichment!
    • Some great ones are different plants and fruits(flowers, grapes, etc), a PINCH of rat bedding, other snake’s sheds and bedding, and things with your smell on them

Activities to do with your rodent(small mammal):

  • Make a little maze with treats at the end of it
  • Make a Floating Cap Forage:
    • Grab a shallow dish or bowl, bottle caps, water, small pieces of food to fit in bottle caps
    • First, fill each bottle cap with a small amount of food.
    • Then, fill the dish with a bit of water(careful not to create a situation in which your animal could drown).
    • Finally, float the bottle caps in the water.
  • Or you can just give some cuddles!
  • Make some cage furniture out of cardboard, wood, and even plastic tubing!
    • If this is meant to be eaten/chewed on don’t use any glue!
  • Have a spa day together!
