Hide a Squirrel by Kyjen - QUESTION? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

stedmansmommy · 01-17-2008, 09:04 PM

Stedman has a Birthday coming up next month, and then there is also of course Valentines Day, which is not even a week before his Birthday. I am so fed up with trying to find him cute toys here (I found ONE really cute one today - this precious little turtle - but that was it!) - so, I have decided to just say to heck with it and I am ordering him some online

I want to get him one of the Hide A Squirrel toys, but I have a question. I was going to get him the SMALL one (he likes to be able to carry things around in his mouth so that he can run away with it because little sissy steals toys LOL) - anyway....do any of you have the SMALL one? Is it super super tiny?? I don't want it to be TOO tiny...but small enough if that makes any sense

As soon as I find out if this size is ok, I will go and order it for my boy

I have the small....and it's not tiney tiny. The squirrels themselves are about 5 -6 inches long and the little tree trunk is maybe 8 inches tall or so. Those are guesses. It's a good size. I saw the large size in a store while on vacation and thought it was too big.

I don't have a link for you, but I bought ours off eBay using a BIN, and it was much cheaper than the store even with shipping.

Happy early birthday Stedman!

Ok. I've read about these before, but I can't figure out what they are. So what in the world are they? Lol.

jencar98 · 01-17-2008, 09:29 PM

I have two of them, one is about 6", would that be the small? The other is probably about 10" tall. Ruby and Reno are each under 4lbs and play with both sizes. The squirrels for the larger one aren't too big for them to carry and run with either.....also it is kind of fun to watch Reno, stick his head inside the larger one to get the squirrels

. I don't know if his head will fit in the smaller one.

Hehe....here you go

I've attached a picture of the toy for you, and pasted it's desciption below

Develop and strengthen eye-paw coordination skills as your pet discovers how to remove the squeaker squirrels from inside the Hide A Squirrel. Keeps your dog entertained, active and busy for extended periods of time, eliminating boredom.

Helps to satisfy a dog's natural instinct to search, stalk and capture its prey as your pet repeatedly removes the squeaker squirrels from inside the Hide A Squirrel.

For additional fun and variety, place favorite pet treats or other toys inside the Hide A Squirrel.

Machine washable fabric is made with safe, non-toxic all new materials.

Instructions:
Introduce the squirrels by removing them from inside the Hide a Squirrel. Encourage your dog to play with them. As your dog watches, insert the squirrels back into the Hide a Squirrel (squeak them as you insert them). Then let your dog play with the toy.

IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE: Do not leave dog unattended with this toy. Larger dogs may be able to swallow the smaller plush pieces.

Hmmm, yeah...I think that may very well be the small one

I think I will go ahead with this size and try it out and see how he likes it

Heck, if he ends up loving it, I may just go ahead and get him one of the Hide a Bee's as well, but in the bigger size just so I can watch him stick his head in it LOLOL

Thanks so much for your help, it is much appreciated!

We have the regular size one that we recieved from the last GE. Both of the boys love it! As for eBay, I guess it really depends on shipping if you buy more from the same seller or not.

Punkin has the small one and she loves it. She is just under 8 pounds and the squirrels are a perfect size for her.

I have the small one and it's not too small..it's just right in my opinion for them.

I want to get the hide hide a bird and the squirrel. We currently have the bee...it's too cute.

I got Reagan the small one & she loves it but I left it with her in her x-pen one day while I went to work next door & when I come back the poor lil baby had her head stuck in the trunk of it! I liked to have stroked she was going round & round in a complete circle w/her poor lil head stuck!!! I let her have the squirrels to play with & then when I can watch her in the den I let her have the whole thing!
