Splash Pools<br />
These can be filled with water and offered to the serval as a place to cool down.<br />
Alternatively toys can be placed inside <strong>for</strong> the serval to retrieve.<br />
Cardboard Boxes<br />
Cardboard boxes offer an ideal place <strong>for</strong> a serval to hide. Toys can alternatively be<br />
placed inside boxes <strong>for</strong> the serval to play with and retrieve. Any harmful substances such<br />
as staples or plastic tape should be removed first and servals should be carefully<br />
supervised while playing to make sure they do not eat and ingest part of the cardboard.<br />
Bags Filled with Leaves<br />

serval, and encourages jumping, grabbing, sniffing and batting at the object until the bag<br />
is ripped open and the leaves fall out.<br />
