I rotate toys every 3-4 days with a mix of wand teasers, puzzle feeders, and crinkly balls, never repeating the same combo twice in a row. Bengals need novelty, so I stash 3 sets and swap them out on a strict calendar to keep the basket feeling infinite.

Keep every toy out of sight for at least 48 hours, then rotate in 2-3 completely different types at a time - never the same shape or texture two days running. I have a Bengal who loses interest in anything that stays visible, so I use a system of 4 bins: one for crinkle toys, one for feather wands, one for balls with bells, and one for puzzle toys, cycling through them in random order every morning.

Hide toys for a full week, not just a couple of days. I keep six distinct categories - wand toys, crinkle tunnels, battery-powered mice, puzzle balls, laser pointers, and soft plushies - and rotate them out every Sunday evening. My Bengal only respects the basket when he hasn't seen a single item from the previous week, so I also stash a few "emergency" toys like a paper bag or cardboard box to pull out mid-week if he starts eyeing the stash with suspicion.
