| If anyone wants to know about the busy buddy toys I just ordered a bunch of them. I'm going to be selling them on my new website (that I should be working on, not chatting on YT! ) We prefer the squirrel and twist-n-treat as treat/food dispensers. I'd say I can get 1/2 of Loki's meal in there. The football is good for sticking a treat in like you would with a kong. The squirrel is also like a Kong but it has prongs so you don't have to use PB, you can just put kibble or treats in. Loki is a puzzle-toy pro and he had a difficult time with the Waggle. He played with it, but just couldn't get the treats out. The Chuckle is too big for Yorkies. The tug a jug is cool and can fit a whole meal, but I haven't let Loki try it yet. I will order more if you all like the tug-a-jug. Hopefully the site will be up by July 1st, but if anyone has questions please ask I'm happy to help! We love these toys that much!

| i bought the bouncy bone and rawhides to put on it, but you do not have to put treats on it. he will chew it without and so far it is lasting pretty well. all the other toys above i have and do put treats OR his dinner in. i also ordered a mini cube online and it came yesterday. it is much easier for him to push around and get it to roll over. you can change the treat dispensing from max to min to make it less or more challenging as they get better at using it. my son asked me why didn't i get the treat dispenser and i told him i wanted to see if he liked the other stuff first and how it held up. we may get that one next. we haven't had ANY problems with him being bored and poo-ing on the floor since we've started getting these "challenge" toys. |

| OK. So you have not had any problems out of them? IM trying to decide which one to get. Which one do you prefer, or do you prefer all of them? LOL. |

| The squirrel is my favorite. Loki's favorite is the Twist-n-Treat, but he has a harder time getting the kibble out with that one. When he's done he carries it around. He will even bring it to me and drop it on my feet so I will re-fill it. The football is probably the easiest and smallest. Sammy actually likes a completely different toy called the freeze n chew. I've got those too! Sorry I'm trying to work full time and get this website going AND do our local farmer's market. I promise I'll get it up soon. We haven't tried the tug-a-jug but it sure looks like fun! Oh, and we've never had one break. Loki is a power chewer - he destroys Bully Sticks. So far no problems.

| the tug a jug is cool in concept, but i don't think he likes it very much. it took him a long time to figure out how to use it. i'm going to put his dinner in it tonight and see how it goes. i may order the twist and treat next. these seem like they are pretty indestructible. |

| Also, I don't know if you are supposed to or not, but I put mine in the dishwasher. I will look on the package when I get home and see if it says anything about that. Sometimes they are really gross to clean even if they get all the food out because they are all slimy!!!

| edgar has figured out the tug-a-jug. it is pretty noisy, as mentioned above, but he eats slower that way and knows what's in it. he has not chewed any of the nubbies off of the rubber ball on the top either (a mIRacLe!). enjoy your purchases!! |

| Ever Lasting Treat Ball This is the only one that Tricksie can't destroy. She has taken the treat out a few times. The Kong toys, she started eating. Don't know what to do with a chewer.

| updating 8-13-07 the tug-a-jug is still standing strong. edgar has figured it out just fine and really plays with it. i recently ordered a small twist-a-treat and a small squirrel dude. the squirrel dude is GREAT!! it is similar to a kong, but the little "treat meter" fingers really help keep the treats in longer. it's also kinda cute with it's little squirrel face. i recommend! it's bouncy and unpredictable and even with no treats in it, edgar self initiates play. he has not been able to destroy it, even with some serious chewing. however, the twist-a-treat is becoming quickly destroyed. it was smaller than i expected it to be (i don't break out a ruler to see how big something might be). and since he likes it so much, he's chewing around the edges, sort of like a frisbee. you can twist it to meter the treats, but he has actually somehow untwisted it once. the yorkie yummies ARE too small and fall out quickly, but he looooves the yummies. (and so does our lab. she'll sit, shake, and stay for a yummy!) i'll keep updating as i order new things from this company. |

| I'm surprised your twist n treat isn't holding up. That's Loki's favorite and we've had it for over a year. Try the football, that might be more durable. These are our favorite toys. I sell them, in case anyone is interested!

| Hi medusa512 I bought one of those toys. It's called "Kong Time". It pushes a kong out at timed intervals. Zoe loves it. Some times she'll sit there to see if it's time for one to come out lol. I bought mine at Small Breed Toys Etc. website. They had really nice prices. |
