(I hope it's okay to post this because this isn't my idea. This is generally passed around forums, and I have no idea who came up with the idea. However, I thought I'd post a tutorial on it anyway. If anyone here happens to be the person who created this idea then tell me and I will credit it to you.)
You will need:
- 1 toilet roll tube
- 1 dog biscuit
- 1 pair of scissors
1) Using the scissors, cut the toilet roll tube into strips. I like to do it into about 6 peices, otherwise I find they are either too wide or too narrow.
2) Using two of the strips, push one into the other so they are starting to form a ball shape.
3) Next, pick up another strip and slot this over the ball you've already made.
4) Push the dog biscuit into the ball.
5) Take the next cardboard strip, and slot this over the ball.
And there you have your treat ball
If you've been adding up as you went along, then you will have noticed there are two strips left. I personally only use this many because I think it's makes a good amount for the hamster, it's not too many so that they can't get in, and I struggle to fit more around it. However, if you want then you can put on the next two strips too.
