I'll take a look at them. One of the problems is that, individually, they have different needs in toys. Together, a tug toy would suffice, as long as it is reasonably tough. Individually, Seamus (the male) mostly just needs something he can chew on without destroying within 5 minutes. Fionna (the female) will chew, but is not as destructive, unless he has already started chewing on it, in which case, she will continue the destruction. What she really needs are some interactive toys that will challenge her intelligence. She'd love some puzzle toys. Unfortunately, most toys of this type are not tough enough to withstand his destructiveness. Some of these suggestions may work, though. I'll definitely check them out!!
