Question: Safe play "things" for tank

[shells]

I've just come across an old ping pong ball while unpacking some boxes and have read some people use these as play thing for their axie. My ping pong ball is a coloured one and was wondering if anyone knows if this would be safe to use?

Yes I heard this too, I don't know about coloured ones, but I would like to know how they play with it?

I have heard that some play and others dont. Try the ball in a bucket of water and see if it upsets the water or leaks colour

Good tip Lea. I soaked it for ages and it didn't leech any colour, I didn't think about testing the water it was in..DOH!

I was curious about the toy thing too and I ended up floating a fishing bobber in the tank. It was really popular for a few hours, they were pushing it around and trying to eat it, but I think that once they realized it wasn't edible, they lost interest.

I think they probably try to eat it. But when they chomp down on a floaty ping pong ball it probably pops away a few inches. So they have to chase it to try to eat it again.
