DIY enrichmentDogs and cats
Cardboard box forage
A household idea. Nothing to buy unless you want the optional supplies.
A box, some scrap paper and a handful of kibble. They rummage. You recycle the box when it gets soggy.
Best for
A one-off rainy afternoon, especially for cats who already like boxes

Good to know
- Skip any box with staples, tape packed into the cardboard, or plastic windows.
- This is a supervised game, not a toy you leave out all week.
- Full steps are in the DIY guide.
Supervision. Stop if they are eating cardboard rather than searching. Some dogs will.
