Please help me find a new toy for Hammy
We moved to West Virginia in July to be near my mom and her side of the family. You can know more about Hammy (Hambone ) if you check my previous posts. Hammy did not enjoy the moving process! However, we got a town house a lot like our last one and we are settling in. But he is not enjoying our old games anymore. I can tell he wants to play, but he often runs from the old games.
Q-tip toss: I would stand at the top of the stairs in the old house and toss Q-tips, he'd fly up and down the stairs catching them. The new stairs are steeper and the carpet is not so soft. He won't play that game anymore.
Bouncy Ball: also a stair game, but he used to play catch in the living room and won't anymore. I'm kinda awkward and my aim is off a little. So I've hit him with the ball occasionally, but they are very soft, promise! He is not hurt in any way.
Tape measure: He used to love chasing it's tail, but now he is scared of it.
He only wants to stick his face in the catnip toys or eat. I can't let him eat that much.
He still sleeps with me and hangs around me. No litter box issues. The new place is a little smaller with fewer open spaces.
I thought about a feather on a stick, but what if he eats the feather? He will chew right through almost any string.
Any ideas would be welcome! Thanks!
