Enrichment

What do you guys do for enrichment? Kane got hit by a car 5 days ago and he spent 2 days pretty sleepy and calm. I thought that would last. These last 3 days, he's been really energetic and I can't physically exercise him because his leg is fractured in 2 places (it's his front left leg) and he doesn't like most foods. He's a really picky eater, so trying to find chews or slow feeders doesn't really work for him. Today he was especially energetic and he hurt himself while in the crate. Reopened a wound on his nose. I feel bad he isn't getting enough exercise mentally or physically, but he's just really picky about his food and what he'll actually do. He is on trazodone, but even while on it, he's still really energetic. Just slightly less. So, if anybody else has a picky Husky or a Husky that needed to be on crate rest, what did you guys do for enrichment/to keep them entertained?

Edit: I tried wrapping kibble in a blanket, he loved it and figured it out so fast! Thank god he stopped being picky about his kibble LMAO

What muzzle do y'all recommend for her? We did a size 4 bakersville muzzle but it rided up on her nose and always in her eyes despite a ton of adjusting the straps and boiling it to reshape it. The straps ended up getting tangled somehow and I couldn't fix it, so I cut the straps off. Now I need another muzzle because of her foraging, so I'm wondering what y'all recommend for her. I do not know the exact measurements of her snout, but I could get them if it's really important. The issue is, her snout doesn't really match a specific breed and most sizes are breed specific. Hers is wide but short at the same time. I specifically want one that has pant room, but I'm not worried if she can drink water/eat treats or not. Money is tight, so I can't get one that's specifically catered to her snout
