        Got one of these this morning, hoping it’ll be something all three bunnies, plus the guineas, will enjoy.

        Gina got first go, its set on level one of three.

        She soon got the hang of moving the disk round, but she used her front paws, not her teeth, so she might find level two that bit more of a challenge. However, she seemed to enjoy completing level one, but was annoyed it ran out of treats too soon.

          Jenny’s first go, she was soon on top of things, too…

          Pippi got the hang of using teeth to move the disk straight away…

          …but instead of sliding the disk around, he managed to get the angle needed to remove it altogether!

                Wasn’t sure if it would be worth buying, but they all got excited to see it, when I got it out and filled it up today, so I guess that’s a triple paws up?
                It does mean they sort of have to forage for their food, and certainly makes the pellets last a fair bit longer. Both girls think pellets are wonderful. I don’t think they’d come across them before they came here.

                It says suitable for piggies, so at some point I’ll see what the piggies make of it too, but they won’t think pellets are worth the effort, so I’ll need to come up with something else suitable to fill it with.

                  I saw this mentioned in a youtube video and wondered if it was worth the effort, but if 3 out of 3 of your buns thinks it’s great that it’s probably a safe purchase!

                    My boys loved theirs, but it became too easy for them after awhile. Leopold wants nothing to do with the disk thingie. He discovered that he could get his teeth under the edge and simply yank the whole thing out. Then the pellets are free for the taking. Both buns make quick work of the “cups”.

                    Later, I purchased a Toys R Us interactive toy for dogs. It has four different compartments and it took them very little time to figure that one out as well. *sigh* If your buns get bored with the Teach N Treat, I would recommend the Toys R Us one. I bought it at Petsmart.

                      Yep, two of mine remove the disk, so tried level 3 yesterday. They all found it easy enough, but they seemed to enjoy it all the same.

                      The lady in the pet shop said she’d bought it for her bunny, who wouldn’t use it, so it does depend on the bunny, and maybe on how food motivated a bunny is?

                      Gina was very pleased to see it come out again today, and was straight into hunting down pellets…

                      When the first dozen were all found and scoffed, she came and put a little paw on my knee, then went straight back and stood waiting, plainly wanting it refuelled. Those were soon gone too, and she got a third refill, given she asked so nicely. Hard to resist that little paw!

                      Here, you can see the nose in action, pushing the cups out the way.

                      The instructions say they should use their teeth, she says noses work better!

                      Pippi and Jenny took it on as a team effort. Even though Gina did ask for a fourth go, I insisted it was their turn! She stood as close as the run bars let her, while they foraged away.

                        Chester gets half of his pellets on one of these. I keep changing the settings up and down, and today I found this on the floor:

                        Little stinker… he does love it though, and learned really fast how to do all the levels.

                          Chester and Pippi really are twins, aren’t they! That’s what Pippi did, shown in the 6th pic in the first post

                            They truly are! Pippi figured it out faster than Chester though, we got our treat finder in May if he’s like Chester good luck, he’s a little troublemaker!

                              He is! Yesterday, he realised that if he hops to the top of the kitten tree, while it is near the back door, he can push his front paw down on the door handle

                              Thankfully the door was locked!

                                Hehe, yes, noses always work better. Or, in Leopold’s case, if it’s taking too long to push stuff around the pick up the whole thing a throw it. LOL

                                  Thankfully Chester can’t reach any door handles! I did woke up this morning with him sleeping next to me though. After I kicked him out and took away the step to get on the bed around 1am! Guess he figured out he can jump on the bed on his own. Oh bunny…
