Mini antos or mini mini antos?

Hmm. I have always ordered "mini" Antos toothbrush chews from Viovet - they are about 2 to 3 inches long. This time I ordered a tub of 50 mini ones from Amazon - I don't need 50 lol! But was doing an Amazon order and didn't want to pay postage just for a couple of chews from Viovet - and thought Charlie could give them to people for Christmas if we had too many

Anyway - the tub of 50 Mini Antos toothbrushes are TINY!!!! About the size of my thumb. Not what I want at all. Charlie would just pouch it rather than drag it around.

So what's that all about? Are there two sizes of mini? Or are mini ones in a tub smaller than mini ones sold loose?

That sounds strange. I've bought the mini ones loose and in the tub before and they've both been the same size. Maybe try the small/extra small Whimzees?

I've sent them back and ordered 4 loose mini ones from viovet, which is what I normally get.

That is weird, I always get mine from ratrations but I just checked the antos site & the smallest toothbrush they list is 11cm.

Yes that's about the size of the ones I normally get. The tub of 50 is described as "mini" - it should be "micro"!!!! Maybe they only they make that size for the tub purchase.

I just had another look at their site & the tub ones are supposed to be 7cm, missed that first time around! What dog would chew that?!

According to the reviews some dogs swallowed them whole! I didn't think to read the reviews - I just saw mini antos toothbrushes and thought they were the same ones, but clearly there are two versions of "mini"!!!! Anyway at least I've saved some money I didn't need 50 lol!

I would think even the smallest dog would swallow them whole!

They sound like the ones I got for Smokey from eBay, they were 7cm, so they were very small, but she liked that she could pouch them!

Which reminds me, think I will order some for Marty!

I like the tubs of tiny Antos chews - I do need 50! They're a great size for my dwarfies and my Syrians enjoy them too. The ones I had were about the size of the Biscrok biscuits they have so my lot are used to that size

ETA: Rogue bites Biscrocks into little pieces and then chews them! He hasn't had antos chews as they're vegetable based.
