Those little teen ager buns are at it again, chucking their food dish everywhere and digging food out :evil:
anyway, would a treat ball be better or those feeding bell things?
problem is I'm pretty sure SS wouldn't fit in your average treat ball would it?

i used to give my lot SS and they had it in a treatball. It needs to be one of the rabbit type ones cos the hole can be made bigger whereas some of the cat ones just have a little hole. Treatballs are much more fun for them and makes them get active to get their dinner

Scamp has one of these which he has no problem chasing the SS out of: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LOOK-UNIQUE-T...ryZ20741QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

They're about 2" diametre with a hole less than 1cm! They do break in half for easy filling.

My other two have a dog sized ball: http://www.petsupplies.ie/shop/cart.php?target=product&product_id=456&category_id=77

which is much bigger than the rabbit sized ones and has the twisty lid for adjusting the hole size.

Kennelgate do the adjustable cat treat balls (similar to the rabbit ones) for about 75p each :shock: - I've got about 6 of them, I'm sure they've got the price wrong!!! :lol:

I have one of the yellow balls with carrots on it, and SS does come out the hole. You could also try the ferret one which wobbles around like a weeble.

I have one of those with carrots on but I just put a few in as an extra treat, I feed mine a small handful of pellets in the morning then again at tea time and they gobble them up within minutes so don't have the chance to make a mess with them :lol:
