Corey and I found the neatest toy for our fuzzies: a *plastic* baby pacifier. We were at Odd Job Discount looking for potential low-cost-not-ingestible toys, when we happened upon the baby department. They had the regular assortment of latex nipples and pacifiers, which we all know are *not* fert friendly. However, next to them was an assortment of hard plastic pacifiers. I'd imagine that these aren't too pleasant for little human babies, since they are rather hard, but they were perfect for our fuzzies, and at only $0.69 for a set of two, it was quite a steal! We got them home and gave 'em to the kids, and they're *wild* about them. We use them to play with them, and when they nip us, to show them that the toy is for nipping, not human fingers. It's also helpful for the last legs of teething, I imagine (often, if one of the ferts is sleeping or busy doing something else, and the other wants to play, they'll sit in the corner and chew on the pacifier). It's a good thing we got two! We have been careful to keep and eye on them and the toy, to make sure they aren't eating little bits of it, and so far these newfound toys are stubbornly intact, much to the dismay of our babies. :) So, look for *hard plastic*, no latex, no rubber. Lucy and Gabriel highly recommend them. :) Andrea, Corey and the babies Lucy Furr "Look mama, I can sit still and cuddle for a whole 5 mins!"
