Thought I'd post this up, see what other recycled things pet owners give their pets!
Here are my recycled via. the pets things:
Bottle tops - these make brilliant food, water and calcium bowls for my geckos! I have a whole load of bottle tops saved up to use
Egg boxes - I cut these up to make little hides for my hatchling geckos, they are the perfect size!
Medium-sized cardboards boxes - plenty of shop-bought stuff for my corn snake Silver in his vivarium, but what is his favourite hide? A plain old cardboard box! He also has a bamboo tray in his vivarium to create a ledge lol
Boxes and tubs - why waste money on those expensive treat balls/cubes that will take 5 seconds for you dog to destroy? Instead I create treat containers for my dog out of cardoard boxes, cartons, in fact anything that is safe to use! Cut a hole in it, fill it with treats and present it to the dog! Sure, they'll wreak it in no time but hey, at least it didn't cost you anything!
Toilet roll tubes - ah, good old toilet roll tubes, perfect for so many critters from hamsters to snakes! They can chew on them, sleep in them, crawl through them, cut them up and they make nice hides for baby geckos...so much that can be done with a simple cardboard tube!
Millie & Fly the Border Collies
Bottle caps, loo roll tubes, envelopes, pens that have run out of ink, corks - they all make great magpie toys for carrying, stashing and destroying. Alas, though, I've found out that a toy given to a magpie isn't nearly as captivating as one stolen from an unsuspecting human.

Haha you're magpie is great lol
Thought of something else I re-use - old live food tubs, they make great homes for baby geckos, and are good for catchling adult geckos to put them out of the way while I'm cleaning their vivarium lol
