Difficulty: easy

Materials:
* 1 plastic basket from dollar store
* fun stuff to put in the basket

Description

I started by putting toys and squirrel corn into the basket. I used baby toy links to hang it so it would swing, from the top of the cage. After a few days I took the basket down and put in some containers with veggies. I covered each container with a napkin and covered all the containers with crumbled newspaper. Since Herbie had watched me put the food in, he got right on it as soon as I put the basket on the cage floor.
