Best enrichment options

Any suggestions for enrichment to simulate hunting? We do treat hiding/tossing games and puzzle feeders. She likes kicker toys and catnip. Shes afraid of wand toys or doesn't find them convincing.

This is my former ferals favorite toy. She sits by it asking me to turn it on every morning. She plays with it for about an hour every day. Shes addicted.

Mine is starting to get beat up 🤣 one of my former ferals loves to eat ribbons so I have to cut them off but the paper is looking pretty beat up now. I am amazed at the battery life of this toy... its holding up so well!

There are these little hunting feeder toys - you can put a few treats or some kibble inside and hide them around the house to find and get the food out of. I foster and have had a few food motivated fosters who LOVE them - I would hide them around the house before bed and they would “hunt” overnight. https://www.chewy.com/doc-phoebes-cat-co-indoor-hunting-cat/dp/179102
