  riibu posted about this in another thread. I thought it looked so good, I’d give it it’s very own thread!
  
  A treat dispensing ball! I can imagine putting pellets in it.

  Yes, this thing is fantastic! I keep meaning to video the antics it causes; if I ever manage to do that I’ll post it here.

  I wanted to get one of these but didnt want to pay $10 in shipping for a 3.99 item! Oh well I am going to order it soon anyway! It looked small obviously but is it to small for them to play with? What are some favorite treats to fill it with?

  I bought a bunch of other stuff at the same time as the treat ball (I think mostly stuff to put in the treat ball) and shipping was still $10 – It’s definitely worth it!
  
  The ball isn’t at all too small; it’s quite perfect – maybe 3-4 inches in diameter. My bunny likes to roll it under himself, then flip around and do it again. That’s in addition to pushing it in circles with his nose and grabbing it by the opening and flinging it.
  
  I’m quite sure it’s not the best choice of treat to put inside it, but the picture that’s posted above shows it with a selection of dried fruit and that seemed like a good idea so I went with that. I think I got the carribean mix of dried fruit and my bunny goes CRAZY for it. The bag has lost all its function ’cause he’s not patient enough to wait for me to put the treats in the ball; he just goes straight for the bag.
  
  I don’t think he gets as excited when healthier treats come out, but if the ball makes ANY kind of rattling sound he just divebombs the thing.
  
  Oh, and FYI: It does come in different colors than what’s pictured. I got a blue ball.

  He loves it! She doesnt care too much, but thats how she is. He pushes that thing around ALL day until theres no more treats inside, then he gets upset, looks at me, and then climbs on my leg to beg for more. Then you get that pitiful look, is terrible! lol I got a blue one too, and i did try the carribean mix as well and both buns love that! When he pushes it it sometimes gets stuck or cornered against things and he gets quite flustered! Great toy and very funny and cute to watch!

  Oh yay! Glad at least one of your buns took to it! I definitely think it’s one of the best bunny toys I have.

  I got this too. I swear Peepi thought I was playing some sort of practical joke on him. He got so angry! I need to teach the boys how to use it.

  I ordered 2 (one for Archie & Gracie, other for Parsnip). Gracie loves it! Archie hasn’t really looked at it. I can hear Parsnip playing with it right now! She loves to pick it up with her teeth (the place where you control now big the hole is) and throw it on the ground. FINALLY a toy most of them like haha!

  When I got Rumball, his previous owners gave me a couple of his toys but said he didn’t really play with them. One of them was a dog treat ball with same opening like the one above. I only just used it this week and it’s a hit with Jersey! She’ll persistantly nose it until it’s empty. I put pellets in it. The one I have has paw print pattern on it that is raised and rubber coated. It’s good because it slows it down and it doesn’t skitter away.
  
  So yes – very good bunny toy!

  This looks like so much fun. I was thinking of ordering hay from them anyway, so throwing in a toy or a few for Freya is no big deal. I’d probably just put pellets or something in it though, she’s already spoiled rotton.

  Honestly, I would just look in the Dog Toy section of any store. This is an image search I did using “Treat Ball” There’s tons of this sort of thing around. images.google.com.au/images
