I want one with small enough holes that I can put his kibble in it, like Jeanie said, but BB is such small bites, it just falls right out of this one.
I found a little Kong at Petco that is shaped like a barbell, has little bumps all over it rather than being smooth and has a small hole in each end - quite small. It was just $9.95 or something like that and the balls on each end are hollow so they can hold a lot of small pieces of kibble. It is about 5 - 6" long and the ball are about 2" across. It bounces easily and is very pliable. It is very good for putting small kibble in and just a hole on each end for the kibble to get out. Tibbe has learned exactly how to hit it to make it bounce all over to produce kibble. It is a pale turquoise or pale aqua color. Your might like one like that. Most kongs have hard rubber but this is soft, pliable plastic-y stuff. Tibbe's kongs are mostly about 3 1/2 or 4" long and I put regular kibble in the hole end with wet, sticky kibble close to the hole to kind of glue it all in. He licks that out first and then the other comes out easily but not until the kong bounce on that end so it still is some work. He just loves these things and I sit and applaud him each time he gets some out a lot of the time so he loves an audience!
