Hey y'all. My bluey is super curious, explorative, and loves getting into mischief. What toys should I try for enrichment outside the enclosure? She also loooooves climbing, but I don't wanna get anything too high so she'll fall and hurt herself. Any recommendations, for enrichment both inside and outside her enclosure?
 
I move my pet ( dragons' and skinks' ) stuff around ( rearrange ) on a regular basis , they seem to enjoy exploring the new arrangement ( it's all got their familiar scent ) .
For the larger lizards , they get some free range floor time each every day , they love exploring things like empty open boxes, mailing tubes, bubble wrap , wrapping paper , sometimes unoccupied shoes and socks , and other sundry items they encounter. We warn all visitors to not leave open bags on the floor a dragon or a bluetongue is out as it'll be inspected very thoroughly and there's a risk the lizard might decide it's good place to have a nap.
TV is hit with my gang.
 
Looks like your lizard needs an outdoors play area. I find half filled raised garden beds makes good enclosures to explore the great outdoors. Cover with mesh or chicken wire to keep out the predators.
 
I used to collect various skulls/bones/sticks etc while out and about to put in my lizard enclosures, particularly for the monitors but also for the Blue-tongueds etc. Occasionally I'd also use a cardboard box or whatever other object I had handy. I'm not sure if it helped them in any way but it was a bit of fun for me.
