Try rearranging the furniture!  The first time I did it was because I got
a new cabinet.  No excuse after that, except it aids cleaning.  The kids
have to check out all the hidey holes and double-check the stashes (even
if I don't clean them out).  Then they have to recalculate all the
geometries; someday, they're certain, I'll make an access path up to the
counter or onto the computer desk.  I find it's good for several weeks
of amusement.
 
An alternative is to change their arrangements.  I have two cages in the
ferret room, joined by a tube.  Switching cage places or running the tube
a different way creates excitement, as does adding to or taking from the
cardboard box pile.  Anything to keep them amused...

I have a variation on this question -- what is the krinkle stuff?  I want
to make a krinkle sack, and don't know if I should just use one of the
stiffer/krinklier shopping bags, or if there is some 'official' stuff to
sew into the sack.  Anyone know?
