Tug Toys - not just for your dog
Cats:
- Play with your cat by dangling the tug toy from a door knob or snake it along the ground for an interactive game with you.
- Push high value solid foods (small pieces of dried meat are good) into the fibres of the rope for your cat to “hunt” and pull out.
- Make it easy at first, and build up the difficulty by pushing the treat in further or hanging the toy from a higher point. If you hang it above something rather than against a solid wall/door it will be harder for your cat to work it out.
Birds:
- Use as a perch, swing and foraging device. Hide high value foods (sunflower seeds, nuts, fruit or vege in the rope).
- Don’t make it too hard too soon or your bird will get frustrated.
Rats/Mice:
