ve s! i t a e r c DIY enrichment Get with u While animals are in our care at West Hatch we try to help them get and stay fit, healthy and stress-free in all sorts of different ways. One approach that is invaluable to wellbeing is the provision of toys and enrichment. Such items can offer opportunities to play, think, exercise and have fun all at the same time. Staff at the centre do their best to create a range of interactive items that animals can use, but of course variety can be key in keeping things interesting and so this is where we hope our supporters can lend a hand. If you have some spare time and some spare shoe boxes and loo roll tubes why not help us out by making toys for the dogs and cats at the centre? The photos show some simple destruction box designs for dogs and tube play feeders for cats but you can get as creative as you like.
