Different Toy Recommendations?

[the_gerbilpetsworld]

So I have been wanting to get my gerbils some different toys, I know Blanknote has already done something like this and I wanted to do my own. Currently my gerbils have:
Hide and Seek Cube - Pets at home
Wooden Playsticks Bridge - Pets at Home
Colourful Play bridge - The Range
Hamster Cottage - Pets at Home
Flying Saucer - Pets at Home
Silent Spinner - Jolleys
Range of tunnel tubes - Various Places
Knot/Puzzle/Jigsaw Chew - Pets at Home

As you can Tell they haven't got a lot so I am wanting to get them some more toys so that I can vary the toys around they have in their cage. My gerbils are big chewers so I need something that will last but at the same time something that they will enjoy playing with. I give them plastic toys for playtime so if there are any plastic toys that you recommend as well as wooden toys it will be greatly appreciated.

Any answers are appreciated
Thanks

Maybe a couple 'puzzle playground' kits for when they're out for play? www.therange.co.uk/super-pet-42-piece-puzzle-playground/small-animals/the-range/fcp-product/43132

I say a couple as you'll want more than the amount that comes in one box to make bigger and more diverse things for them to explore, this has the plus of being fun for you too when creating things XD and is easy to clean it terms of taking it apart to wash. I found that some of my plastic tubes fit this set too, so you may be able to incorporate your existing tubes with this as well.

You may be able to find a better version elsewhere (I have an old pack that clips together really nicely and I bought one of these to add to it but fond that some of the pieces don't clip together so well/it's not as well made as my old set). They do enjoy chewing the plastic so keep an eye on them of course.

Apparently there is a seesaw version on Ebay too www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Superpet-Critter-Puzzle-Seesaw-38pce-Accessories-Small-Animal-Cage-Fittings-/181310703907?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a36f5c923

No problem

I don't know if you have already thought of this, but a plain plastic ball like a table tenis/ping pong ball works great as a toy. rather flimsy plastic, but because it is circular they can't chew it. I leave one in my gerbils cage all the time.

Great idea do you know a shop that does them?

Thankyou

Do u live in the US? I think Walmart should have some, or sports stores. I just get them from my dad who plays table tennis and was willing to give a spare ball to the gerbils.

Oops, just realized it said

just searched, and found a bunch on ebay. just make sure if you do this to wash very well.

Those puzzle playgrounds are great! I have a huge bag of them somewhere (a large amount of toys and a few cages have somehow been lost in the chaos that is our attic! hahaha) would deffinatly reccommend them for playtime!

you could get a empty ice cream tub and cut circle holes in the sides to attach tubes too (cheap ice cream tubs or much easier to cut than better brands lol)and fill the tub with sand or hay or something exciting for them.
