The new toy is a big hit. It's a dog treat ball that I filled with pellets.
You can see Peppermint and Toffee picking up some pellets that rolled out. It took everyone awhile to catch on but now they all come running when I refill it and set it in the cage. The ball is very light weight so even little Peppermint can roll it around but everyone does have to work for their pellets.
To use it first you twist and remove the yellow piece and pour in the pellets. After you slide the yellow piece back in you can turn it to have smaller or larger openings to control how much comes out. There's also a spot at the other end to open or close a hole. Inside are plastic areas that spread out and slow down the pellets so they don't just all come tumbling out when it's turned the right way.
