Here's a few idea's
tp,paper towel, girft wrap rolls, they are the best and always available
You can stuff them with tp, hay and treats too.
Cheerios on a hemp/sisal/jute string is fun
a climbing rope, made from hemp/sisal/jute
unfinished wood pieces from craft stores, drill holes and srin them up in the cage
popsicle stick houses, I use my hot glue gun, elmers glue is fine too
Plasic kids toys that you don't mind getting chewed(remove if it's getting overly chewed)
Fleece, they love fleece, I make hammoc's, tiny strips for their nests, climbing ropes, a 2"x4" knotted maes a fun cuddle toy
cat toys, I like the little jingle balls
bird toys, ladders, hanging toys
natural branches, untreated apple banchhes, willow branches, grape vine leaving the leaves on(when they arrive again) is fun too.
grapevine or willow balls from Micheal's craft store, make sure they are not shiny or painted
ceramic candle holders, scrubby holder ect make great houses(check second hand shops for great prices)
cardbord boxes are fun, cut out holes, doors, windows ect
live meal worms(ok not toys but puting a couple in the cage(best if you have them in aquriums) weekly is great fun for them to dig around to find them, plus they make a nice tasty snack for the meeces!)
That's all I can think of now. Have fun!!
Very Happy

My mice go crazy for them! I use to have fire bellied toads and I bred them mealworms, now I have 126,633,056 meal worms. I feed my fish them too, my Oscar jumps 1/2 way out of the tank for his meal worms. Plus mice eat bugs in the wild.

i agree that its natural for them to eat them, i guess it's because they're so small and cute that it never really occured to me that they would something living, lol tongue

I don't think I could give my mice live food ... I would feel bad for the poor little buggers.
No pun intended Razz

I have used them for holding water bottles, just make sure to bend the pointy end under then it should be fine. Craft items that are made for kids are always non-toxic.

I would suggest using the hard plastic, wire inside twisty ties that are used to hold toys in the boxes. They work well and are pretty strong so hard for the mice to chew through them.
