I would start with the rope and soft toys first. Inca had a teddy first and also a rabbit that we called travel bunny. This was so she wouldn't be lonely in her cage when we were travelling. She seemed to go through stages where one toy would be favoured over others. Squeeky toys, she tried to disembowel or jump on them and make a noise. Then the next week she wasn't interested. You could play with the pup yourself, hiding things under containers, playing hide and seek and making a big fuss when found. I stuffed one of my husband's old odd socks at one stage, tied a knot in the end of it and made a tuggy toy. We had a latex toy rabbit that didn't look as though it would stand up to little teeth but 2 years later, it's still here. We had to be wary of tennis balls (even now) as Inca can strip the outer cover off in minutes
