DIY Salamander Toys

Provide your pet newts and salamanders with toys and enrichment! Hang a plastic bird toy with a bell in the tank or make your own out of shower curtain rings and a metal bell. Drill a wire spring onto a block of wood, cover the spring with clay and use aquarium sealant to attach a plastic cat toy to the top of the spring for your newts to nudge. Create a bubble area for your axolotl to enjoy and provide your pet with a variety of tunnels, hides and ledges, such as plastic rat tunnels, glass jars or a floating platform. Give your pet small objects to nudge and play with, such as a ping-pong ball filled mostly with water, a small wiffle ball stuffed with treats, moss balls or an empty thread spool.
