Rabbits and small rodents, but also birds react very differently to new toys. There are those who immediately play with the snack cubes with great enthusiasm. But there are also those who have to get used to it first. At first they ignore the toy, but then they start playing with it enthusiastically. There are also animals that like to be occupied with the game for a longer period of time, while others prefer to play for shorter periods of time and more often. Whatever your animal's preference, give him the time to occupy himself with the game in his own way.

Why are foraging toys good for rodents and rabbits?

❤ Stimulate Natural Behavior: Foraging toys mimic the natural behavior of rodents and rabbits, which is searching for food in their environment. By challenging them to search and dig for their food, their natural instincts are stimulated and they stay active and satisfied.

❤ Physical Activity: Foraging toys encourage rodents and rabbits to be active and move around. They have to walk around, dig, push and pull to get to the rewards. This promotes exercise and helps maintain a healthy weight and good physical condition.

❤ Environmental Enrichment: Foraging toys add an element of challenge and variety to the rodent and rabbit habitat. It makes their daily lives more interesting and prevents them from becoming bored in a monotonous environment. This can lead to better overall well-being.

❤ Prevents overeating: Foraging toys make the feeding process slower and more challenging. This makes rodents and rabbits have to work harder to get to their food, preventing them from eating large amounts at once. This helps prevent overeating and weight problems.

In short, foraging toys for rodents and rabbits provide both physical and mental stimulation, help prevent boredom and promote natural behavior. It is a great way to improve their well-being and quality of life.

The game can begin

1. Take out all the cubes and put a few treats in them - clearly visible to your animal.

2. Put the cubes back and place the toy in front of your pet's nose.

3. Place a small amount of food on top of the snack cube. Wait until the animal has discovered and eaten this food. Now give your animal a few minutes to figure out how to get to the food. If he is anxious or impatient, pull one of the cubes out a bit so that one or more pieces of food become accessible. In this way, the animal ends this round of play with the snack cubes with a positive experience.

4. Now allow a longer play break, so that the animal can process the acquired knowledge. Help out again in the next play round in the beginning, if your animal does not succeed independently after a few attempts. Then gradually reduce the help.

5. By placing the toys in different ways, you can choose between 2 levels of difficulty:

Difficulty level 1:
You place the toy on its side so that the animal has the strings directly in front of its nose and only has to pull them.

Difficulty level 2:
You place the toy on its back so that your pet has to pull the string upwards and lift the cube out. Please note the following: Animals need repeated success to stay motivated. Keep the play sessions with the snack cubes short at first, but then play more often. Make sure that your pet does not bite the game to pieces. In this way, a lot of satisfaction can be derived from the game and you will have a lot of fun together during the necessary hours of play.

This product is designed as a shared activity for animal and owner which supports the motor skills and the play and learning instinct of the animal. The Snack Block Game should be removed from the animal when it is empty and before it can be gnawed.
