Good chin toys around the house?

[Fergggie]

I am unable to run to the store for a few days to get my chin wood to chew on. He has a few sticks but I was wondering if there is anything I could give him around the house that would keep him occupied/that he can chew on/that is safe. I have read about people giving their chins cereal boxes and he seems to enjoy those for a few days but I worry about the dye that is used and am scared it could hurt him. Toilet paper rolls are ok but they are boring! what could I give him? Please help! Thanks

Cereal boxes are okay...do you have any brown paper bags?

Are toilet paper rolls okay? I've heard that as it's treated paper we shouldn't be using it for chins? (I'm using toilet paper rolls for my hamster though.)

A plain brown paper bag stuffed with some hay and maybe a treat inside. I use paper towel rolls as long as there's no glue on them, and stuff those with hay as well.

I actually like to use toilet paper rolls and stuff them with hay since they recently destroyed their hard manager. It's also recycling.

I worry about bacteria from bathrooms so I don't use toilet rolls. My chinchillas will also eat paper so it's not a good toy for us. Can you go to the hardware store and get a cheap piece of kiln dried pine? It would be a few dollars but you could cut it into pieces and make toys with it. You can get unsweetened KoolAid and dye them with flavor too.
