That's really funny to watch but also annoying too, as I really want one but not sure if my dogs would appreciate it

thats neat Tillie

i used to get a film case.. make a mealworm size hole in the lid.. fill it with mealworms and give it to snuff.. she would spend ages batting it about trying to get at them..

they love anything involving food as a game eh lol..

Ah thats a good idea Nerys, I'll try that, anything to stop the pacing. Whats wierd is I bought George a kong when I 1st got him but even when its full of food he doesnt take any notice of it!

n-w-london, the terrier you see in the video wanted to kill George big time the 1st 6 weeks I had him, with a lot of time and patience I expect your dogs would be fine.

Yeh thats what I reckon as its a pretty strong smell.
Yes he does still pace hence trying anything to distract him so any other ideas greatly appreciated.
He bashes into everything bless, he is so funny, he likes playing with the top of the milk bottle as well and slides that all over the floor.

I saw some good videos on Youtube of treats put in cardboard boxes and hung at skunk height from door frames/ceilings, the skunk was going nuts for it, hanging off the box and swinging around...

Linky here (have a wee first though, tis rather amusing)
