The 'BETA' Mat item in Animal Jam is rarely seen, but not that rare. They come in 2 colours: orange & blue. They are about worth the same. These items are a bit slumpy and have white stripes. There is also a small dot in the middle of that mat. The mats can also be used by non-members too. Here is what it's worth. Dec 30, 2013 This blog is dedicated to all the Jammers who play Animal Jam. Anyone who reads this blog will be part of the Blog Council; you may answer anybody's questions, suggest any Animal Jam-related thing(s) you would like for the future of the blog, and discuss anything you would like.
There are several den items in Animal Jam that were released during the Beta Testing phase of the game. They were only available for a short period of time, which makes these items very rare. Today, we are going to take a look at those Den Items. Keep in mind that there are items in this list that were technically not released during the Beta Testing phase, but are still seen as such by the Animal Jam community due to their rarity.
The list will be grouped into two different categories: Member and Non-Member Den Beta Items. We have already covered the Den Beta Floors and Walls in another post to keep things organized. If you are interested in seeing those, simply click here to be redirected to that post.
AJ Member Den Beta Items
We will first take a look at the Member Den Beta Items. There are a total of twelve items in this list.

This den item was rewarded to Animal Jam members as a Monthly Member Gift. It never appeared in any of the stores in the game, which makes it extremely rare.
In appearance, The Claw looks like a regular claw machine. It seems to be made out of solid wood, with four wooden poles to hold it up. There are differently colored plush toys within the machine. At the front of it, you will find several buttons, as well as a large game controller sign.
