I'm looking for on of those balls that you stick straw's in and i also what it to hang. I have seen pic of someone who had one i just cant remember who that was

I have found them at our local dollar store. They are wiffle balls.

You can sometimes find them with the seasonal stuff and sometimes the come with those chunky baseball bats.

You can also just make links out of each straw and chain them across the cage. I did that the other day and they ripped apart and chewed up every single straw that I was able to locate. I found them inside of their nestbox which I just cleaned out last night. I also found three barrel monkeys in there. Anybody missing some?

How many straws can you count?

My straws look like that too!

I got mine at the dollar tree.....4 balls in a package

Is this the picture you are referring to. You can get the balls themselves from the dollar tree. They have white ones and colored ones. I purchase my chain from http://www.thesugargliderstore.com/ToyParts.html . You may also be able to find chain and other toy making stuff at your local craft store.

I also purchased one already made from Animal Jungle pet store in the bird department already made up with the ball and toys hanging from it. Any local pet store would most likely have some already made. I've never seen them at Pet Smart. People on here make them as well and sell them.

My boys just love theirs. The other day I was cleaning up their cage and I pulled 10 straws out of their pouch. I was wondering where all the straws were disappearing too.

Imari I make them! I am sure others do as well,


The one above is one I made to match a cage set. I can make one to match whatever you like.

Kazko, I like that idea of hanging stray chains. I'm going to try that. Thanks.

I'll bet that the gliders would very much enjoy taking apart a gum wrapper chain.

If you are my age, I'll bet you still have one stuck in a box somewhere that you or your brother made once... And wouldnt you know it, there's some on Ebay .

Ok thanks everyone............

I have never seen a gum wrapper chain before. Where have I been? You can get the wiffle balls at the dollar store, they even have packs of five that come in multiple colors.

Thanks sounds like a dollar store run.

Wow - I'd forgotten all about gumwrapper chains. I made 'em in junior high.
