A favourite foraging toy

[cf737]

Hello hello....I hope this hasn't previously been discovered but here goes.

My mum originally bought one of these for my pup Apollo. He loves this toy and soon my mum and I were putting treats and peanut butter inside. My dad made a joke that it's like foraging for Apollo!

So I went out to the same store and bought one similar, just a bit smaller. I got a chain from work and a hook and attached them to the side of the toy. Then I went to my handy paper shredder, filled the toy with shredded paper, some chinese finger traps(the little wicker ones), some plastic binkies, a few treats and a cob of corn. It ended up being a super-fun foraging toy that Darwin plays with for hours and hours. Keeps her busy for a while, as she pulls out the paper to get to the toys and treats. She also just enjoys the squishy feeling of the rubber and will sit and chew on the toy itself once all the goodies are gone!

Here is a photo of the toy:

Cindy that looks like an excellent toy and what a great idea to put all kinds of things in it for foraging, no wonder Darwin loves it, you will have to thank your dad for thinking of it.
