Since bearded dragons are social creatures, they too need to support their life and that is to live a happy one. In order for them to be happy, they need to be entertained and one way to achieve this is by giving them toys. Don’t let your bearded dragon sleep all day, let your pet work his muscles by committing him to exercise. Try to entertain them as much as possible. One way to encourage them to be happy is to give them your attention by playing with them. You can try to check these safe materials for your bearded dragon.
Plush or pillow cases
Bearded dragons love to go out in dark places. They choose to hide in different dark areas of their enclosure. To add fun and color, you can put some soft objects or a pillowcase that she can scratch and play with. These are great ideas for having fun. Remember not to give plastic bags as toys as they may cause choking. Instead of this, you can give him some paper bags to play with.
Toy balls
Another great toy idea for your bearded dragon is balls. Whenever you take your pet outdoors to play, give him those balls. He can use his head by pushing and playing with it. It will be a fun sight to watch. You could give him bouncy balls, large marbles, plastic balls, and cat and dog toys to play with. Do not offer small toys to your bearded dragon as it could swallow it and cause danger. Make sure the balls aren’t heavy enough to push your pet. These social creatures love loud noises and bright colors.
Paper towels
The adage “the simpler the better” also applies to bearded dragons. Your pet is sure to love simple things. The simple toys you can give them are paper napkins. Place a sheet or two inside their vivarium. Fabrics are good for scratching and won’t harm your dragon, but torn tissue papers might be messy. After their play time, be sure to remove it and clean the area right away.
Hot tub
It’s time for the pool! It is quite an irony that bearded dragons love water despite having a dry habitat. Bearded dragons love water! So, when it’s bath time, provide him with a mini pool using a plate of water. Put him inside his enclosure. Make sure your dragon fits the dish. Get the right size. Keep an eye on your pet while he plays on the water. Never use a dish larger than your dragon’s size as he can drown inside. Enjoy playing with your pet while he is in the water by giving him a splash from time to time.
Box with sand
In addition to being a substrate for bearded dragons, sand can also be used as a toy. However, you need to supervise your pet while you play. They love to dig and play with sand. Be cautious as the sand could get mixed with their food and cause an impact that could be fatal. The ideal way to provide your dragon with sand as a play item is to put it in a box and separate it from its dining area inside the nursery. Place a newspaper under the box so you can easily clean it and discard it once your pet is done playing.
Other ideas for keeping your pet entertained are to have them run around inside their enclosure. Make sure the entrance and exits are closed. Adding music is also an excellent idea so they can hear the beat and melody. If you’re not there but still want to play them, you can turn on the television while they love to watch.
But the best of all these ideas is being with your pet; it means something to him as he will know that you are building trust and relationship between the two of you.
