Beardie Enrichment

[IAmAMirage]

Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out what I can do to enrich Mirage. He doesn't show any interest in laser pointers or cat balls. Not sure what else I can do. Any ideas?

What my dragon loves is looking out of the window, as well as observing me doing stuff.

For this my dragon luckily has window view from his enclosure, but otherwise, would sitting together at the window, or allowing him to sit by the window semi-supervised be an idea? You could install a window bench for cats.
Also, my dragon likes going with me to other rooms with windows and looking out.
My dragon also likes going with me on the balcony (then he is wearing a harness), as well as sitting next to me while I do something. Like for example, while I'm doing my online language course - he likes the voices. Should be done, however, only with things that are not dangerous, obviously. So when I'm doing some crafts and woodwork on the balcony, he enjoys observing me but of course then only from indoors.

I've tried the window thing. He does like that.

Hello,

It is hard to figure out things to give them some excitement! LOL
Do you have any stuffed animals for him?

Window time and space to run around and investigate things is popular with my guy. If he likes window time, perhaps building something similar to a cat perch to put by a window would be a nice way to give him a good view and let him climb around a little bit.

I do not have any stuffed animals for him. Is that a good option? What kind of stuffed animals should I get?

I have a tiny table (no more than a foot off the ground) that I place next to the window with pillows underneath it. He does enjoy it, but I feel really bad that all he does is sit around. I also have his tank next to a window so he can look out of it all day.

I have a small cat tree in the window that my dragon can use to look out of the front window. We keep making a ramp so that she'll be able to get up and down by herself. (She's good at climbing down, but relies on us to go on top of it right now.)

Hello,

There is a stuffed tank colored bearded dragon that you could get, but not
sure it would be considered a toy. He might find it something to crawl up
on or sit on. Any type should be fine though.
