Buster Cube

Ok, I got one of these things. No treats inside of it. What are good treats to put in there. I presume they need to be small and hard treats, like dry kibble, except I am not feeding my dog any kibble.

What are good treats to put in, and more importantly how do you get them in there in the first place??

Is there a picture of it?
I have not seen one that I recall.

I think that is the one that you just put kibble or very small hard treats in. It really is not easily cleaned, so peanut butter and cheese will not work because they will not fall out! My kids got bored with the one I bought, so I gave it to another person.

Well, it looks like a giant red die, except the spots are not white. The puppy is supposed to roll it around and the treats fall out. He will not be able to chew it since it has rounded corners and very hard plastic. I was thinking it came apart somehow when I bought it, but do yo simply drop the treats in?

"This intriguing cube gives dogs the mental stimulation, exercise and relief from boredom they need to stay healthy and content. Durable plastic cube is designed to be filled with bite size dry pet food. The food is then released at an adjustable rate as the dog rolls the cube with his nose or paw. You regulate the level of difficulty."

Is there a way to adjust the size of the hole? Or do you "adjust" by putting bigger or smaller bits in it? Now I want to see one! :D

[feofil]

Yep. that's the one. But no instructions whatsoever. Perhaps some one "borrowed" them. It looked cool so I got it. Maybe I will put peanuts in it.

That is it. The instructions were about 3 lines telling you to twist the ring around the opening to adjust the size and amount of treats dispensed. The larger one actually comes apart for cleaning.

I have never seen that kind before.
I dont use any thing like that.
Let us know if it works good when the baby comes home.

We just put kibble in it and to fill it you just drop a few pieces in at a time and then shake it & tip it around to get the pieces down inside the cube. I put my finger in that hole & turn it to adjust the 'dificulty' level. Sometimes instead of feeding in her bowl, for a little variety we put the kibble in her cube. It took her about 2 seconds to figure out what to do and she's a pro at it now. She looks like a little soccer player pushing & manuvering it with her nose. Major cuteness... ;)
