When Daisy's outside and getting hyperactive with Jake, she'll pick a spot and go to digging. She can go from flat ground to a decent sized little hole in a matter of seconds, the amount of time it takes for me to stop her.  

I read somewhere online that ratties can benefit from a "sand box," or a spot where they're allowed to dig. Somewhere you can hide toys and treats for them to find...like a designated digging spot.

Has anyone done that? Seems like Daisy would get a kick out of it...

Lacey's not an outside digger, but we play a game called "sofa diving".  We put her ball between the cushions...

we turned an old unused garden into a sand box for our chihuahua/rat terrier mix, Ratchet. he LOVES to dig there. when i was pulling out all the weeds to make it, he was helping me. now when he goes in there he digs to find the roots of the weeds that we were pulling. when he finds one he waits for me to pull it out.
