Cygnet Rehab: Suggestions for swan enrichment toys/activities?

Hi there - what a great site!

I am a wildlife rehabber and animal lover and have a black swan cygnet who was brought to me by another rehabber who thought that I could help it. He had a badly injured leg and the breeder was going to put him down. He is (happily) making progress towards walking after lots of PT, vet visits, and swimming.

Anyways, he spends his days in a large playpen and even though he has water and Mazuri, I can't help but think that he must be bored. Can you recommend any swan enrichment toys/activities? I have been looking at chicken websites, but many of the things there I worry about him getting his head stuck in... This is my first swan and he is sweet and wonderful. (Hoping he stays that way as he is now part of the family.)

Thanks!

Rebecca
