Cool Stand, Ball and Perch

Well here are a few of the things that I have made. I just got done with the hoopball and realized that I literally have no place to hang it in the apartment.
So for picture purposes I hung it over the bed ... or at least till Katrin comes home and puts her foot in my butt, lol.

Here is Ruby's stand that she uses when she hangs out in the Kitchen with Katrin.

Here is Gracie's playground perch. I put a sisal rope through a pvc pipe and then took that and put it into the Yucca wood thingy or what ever the heck it is (easy to find around here in the stores) then connected it to other stuff from the ceiling so that she can chew through the wood and not have to worry about falling down or anything crumbling down around her.

Those are great Mike! You did a wonderful job with the hoopball! Have the fids been on it yet? I'm anxious to hear how they took to it- Ollie had no problems with it at all!

I love the puzzles on your wall- your place looks so exotic!

Thanks, Gracie was a tad leary at first but went on it and stayed put in one spot as did Ruby so there is hope that at least one of them will use it.
Cleo (Sennie) almost had a conniption and tried to fly through the wall when she saw it but is Ok with it as long as it's like on the other side of the room.

I forgot to mention that I also stuff it with plastic chain links and other stuff that shake,s rattles and rolls for her to try and dig out. Which she does with gusto I might add, lol.
