For an extra challenge, how about a Small Animal KONG? Made from natural rubber that can withstand plenty of chew action, this makes a great cage companion, cleans teeth and gums and provides plenty of activity for clever little ferrets who like to pat and play to get their food nuggets to drop out.

And when it’s time for a long, long ferret nap, this fleece and fabric Bunkbed Hammock will be a hit with your slinky, sleepy friends.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for your loyal and loving rats

Your rodent chums will enjoy checking out this sturdy Eco Platform with a fence and two ramps, crafted from applewood, willow and birch. Or how about an exciting Wooden Maze to figure out? Made with an open base and two Perspex roof sections that allow you to watch your intrepid explorers as they investigate the tunnels. The roof sections include breathing holes plus decorative markings showing the start/end and the correct path through the maze – just in case your super smart rats can read! Simply sprinkle some yummy rat nuggets around the tunnels and watch the maze running begin. 

Curious rats can explore in comfort in this Bounce Back Tunnel, handcrafted in fleece and fabric. The bounce back support means the tunnel always keeps its shape, even after it’s been investigated by your rat pack, who will likely stop inside for a snooze. And, as it’s Christmas, how about adding a Christmas Vine toy to their cage? This 20inch long vine is made with three layers of polar fleece (in seasonal red, white and green) and an eyelet at each end, with two hooks to hang it for cosy, climbing fun.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas with your chilled-out chinchillas or devoted degus

For chewing fun, how about some Pick & Mix Chew Toys made from palm leaves, vine, wood, paper, loofa and meadow hay, providing plenty of different textures to enjoy. You can choose four that you feel suit your small furries best, such as hearts, cupcakes or stacks.

Both chins and degus love shredding stuff, so stock up on Coconut Leaf Twists and Banana Leaf Balls wrapped in seagrass string. For double the fun, choose a Kaytee Chinchilla Lava Ledge that attaches to a wire cage with chew proof brackets. Made of pumice, it is completely safe to chew and promotes clean and healthy teeth, plus, as it’s a ledge it also encourages natural jumping exercise – something that chins excel at. 

After playtime and some dinner, when it comes to nap time (something that chinchillas take very seriously) what better place to cuddle up than a Double Door Cube Hammock Bed, available in a whole array of cute patterns.

A wonderful Christmastime with your happy hamsters, mischievous mice or jolly gerbils

With the smallest furries, you can’t go wrong with a Gnawing Tunnel or two – perfect as a hide-away, something to scramble through and over, to snooze in or just chew to pieces. Add a Hanging Log made from a sturdy piece of hazel to scamper across, and a Bolted Balance Bridge to navigate.

The smallest furries will also love a Chew Chew Box, which features a mixed selection including apple sticks, millet and a mixed seeds hanging treat.
