| Has anyone else had trouble interesting their little one in toys? My little guy is 10 weeks and I've had a very difficult time getting him to want to really play with toys. Sometimes if I have to put him in the playpen to do something where I can't give him my full attention I hear him squeaking them a little, but when it comes time to play with me and the toys he really only wants to chew my hands and feet. It's odd because he goes through phases where he likes them, then he doesn't... he has been on a "doesn't" phase for a while now. Everytime he bites, I give him a toy and tell him "no bite" but he growls at the reprimand! Is there something I could do to get him to really like his toys so that I can use them in our play? |

| My pup does the same things. Everytime he bites just keep telling him no and put a toy in his mouth. Chachi will stop biting now but I often have to do this over and over.

| Try Kong!! Mason absolutely LOOOOOVES his Kong, especially when I put treats in it. Kongs are rubber toys that have a space in a middle where you can put different kinds of treats. You should be able to find this at any pet store. Mason can easily spend half an hour trying to get to his treats....and when he's not, he's bouncing the Kong for hours and playing fetch. Kong is the best invention ever!! |

| You might check the cat toy section. Bo has a "Pookie" that he loves! Its a bear's head and body with long stretchy arms and legs that he loves to fling around. Our babies are so little that some of the dog toys can be overwhelming. Good luck! |

| Mojo wasn't too fond of toys either, at least the ones he couldn't eat Now he is crazy about anything he can get his teeth in...so i guess maybe it is related to age??? |

| Otis only likes to play with toys on the carpet. My place is all hardwood, and he has a hard time playing. Shows no interest at all. However, when we go to someone's house who has carpeting, he loves to fetch and play around. |

| Esme I think it has to do with age. When I got Esme at 12 weeks, she had no clue how to play with toys. Now, she is 17 weeks and she LOVES her toys! She drags them all out and hides them around the house... It's very funny! She also loves rugs better than tile, so she usually brings her toys to the rug to play. Mari
