Mine have a lot of toys they like to play with :) They love the plastic braclets! I find that they carry them to their beds and sleeep with them. Also barrel of monkeys. They also really like the milk rings.
The only thing my babies will play with are things they can climb on...anything else they have no interest in. I'm trying to put treats in their ball pit to get them interested in that.
Spike likes to pull straws of the top of the cage and he loves the big baby toys he can crawl into and through. Baby likes the milk rings off the top of the cage and any thing she can jump and SWING on. (She notices anything different!) Lola loves the fake ivy leaves when they have a little curly loop-like end that can hang on the wires - she likes to push them over he body and hold them with her tale.
I have spent a ton on baby toys, ball pits, fleece to make toys and ropes, bird toys, wheels, and whatever else...but their favorite is the milk rings. Every morning I find them missing and every night I check their pouch and there they are :) makes me smile every time!! They also have a strawberry hideout that if I put extra fleece scrapes in the cage, they will stuff those and the milk rings into the hideout hole.
oh yes try it out and yours will probably love them as well!! Make sure and wash them very well(I use water jug rings since Im lactose intolerant but drink alot of water) and hang them from the top of the cage
2nd to plain ole milk rings, I would say they play the most in their pirate ship. They hang out in there the most, and even roll around and tackle each other in it.
Yeah, I don't drink milk either (except for Almond Milk & that comes in a carton) so I was going to do the water jug rings too! LOL! Yay! Gonna try that tonight! Thanks for the tip!
(As if they don't have ENOUGH toys...but I like spoiling them. I can't believe I lived before they came into my life. )
Norm's favorite toy is a small tube wrapped in foam ( i put a meal worm in tube) which dangles from a string. Norm will only glide for this toy, but it shows their true inner predator! I will try and get a video of her.
Mine LOVE their stealth wheel. Besides the wheel the girls don't play with too much besides the milk rings. My boy is very playfull:) The other day he was rolling around on the bottem of his cage, I thought something was wronge with him. He was playing with a Halloween spider ring (ring cut so it can't get it stuck on his head). It was so cute like a cat playing with a ball of yarn. I also gave him some childs toy that is a train and you push a button and it sings "I've been working on the railroad" he jumps on it again and again. He even slept in it the first night I gave it to him:)
Make sure your milk rings are split - if they are not the split ones, cut them. Otherwise not safe.
My gliders rarely play with items made for other animals or human babies. However, they pretty much all (even rescues) will play with toys created specifically for sugar gliders. One of the ways that our reputable vendors serve this community and our gliders is by studying their play habits and interests and then creating toys that feed those interests and stimulate those play habits. The result is that gliders are interested in exploring and playing with these toys, even if they show no interest in other types of things that we give them to entertain them.
These are a few of my gliders favorite toys: The also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their toy boxes and feathers from my birds.
Here are photos of some of my gliders at play:

mine like bottle caps, straws, and just fleece squares. I had the little barrel of monkeys in there, but i was afraid the tiny monkeys would choke them if they bit an arm off or something
