Cute toy!

[Emma]

I picked this up in the pet shop the other day - not my usual style but I was feeling down and cheering myself up by treating all my pets!







It's a "Hamster Boredom Buster" from Superpet - you put little treats inside the plastic hamster's tummy, hang it up in the cage and then the hamster has to bash it around to get the treats out. Phoebe spent ages last night bashing it around - even after all the treats had fallen out, I think she likes the sound of the bell in it too!



A bit cutesy/gimmicky but thought I'd post about it.

Hi Emma,

Looks fun! How much was it? I have only have seen them on eBay and I wondered if they were possibly cheaper to find and buy in pet shop by the time I pay post and packing costs

thanks x

[Emma]

Erm...can't remember exactly but about £1.50 I think, certainly less than £2.



I was thinking you could make something similar with one of those practice golf balls, you know the ones that are just plastic holey balls?

[Sillywabbit]

Thanks Emma, cheaper from shops then!

Yes good idea to make them x

[babyboos]

Try to find some back street petshop they often have these. My hamsters do like to play with theirs although the treats fall out far too quick

[Sillywabbit]

Yes will have a look,

make a nice little Christmas pres for Hammy

Ive used those before but they did get bored of them pretty quickly-i think sometimes my hams are a bit weird!

[Emma]

I think most things get boring if they sit in their cage all the time - I'm thinking to only put this in every so often rather than have it hanging there all the time. "New" things are always more exciting.
