I finally got my order from Dr. Foster and Smith Here's what I got them: Teach & Treat 3-in-1 www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=22726Flip N' Flap www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=22476Penguin Cat Block www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=23579Pawprint Ornament Kit www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=22411Once they realized what the Teach & Treat and Flip N' Flap were (not puzzles, no... treat dispensers ), they were going NUTS over them ;D My little waardenburg girl, Sari (who is also partially blind), actually solved the hardest one on the flip n' flap Then again, I used ziwipeak (if anyone remembers, saying she's obsessed with the stuff is an understatement ). After that, she would NOT leave it alone! I felt bad for not putting in more, but I want her to eat her meat ;D The cat block thing was just cute, and I figured it could just be a really easy foraging toy ;D With the pawprint ornament, I decided to split the clay in four (there was plenty of it) so that they each could have their own... a great way to honor and remember them Anyway, I'll try to get a video of them playing with their foraging toys and pictures of the ornaments once they are finished

Definitely worth purchasing, especially the Teach & Treat since it has three different puzzles. They have only mastered one of the three so far (I would have showed them the others, but I didn't want to spoil their dinner ;D). Now I just need to get some more for the cage. I made the mistake of buying a pretty difficult one for them 2 years ago: www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=5059+16566+15936&pcatid=15936 Only Pan (my evil genius) can get it consistently. Sari just tries to stick her head in it

The Teach & Treat is very popular in our house too! That's Hocus in the product video. He can "solve" it immediately and then goes on his way, but the rest... well, Conan just looks befuddled and whacks the pieces around, then seems surprised that food appears. It's awfully cute. The cats really like it too, but it's a bit small for the dogs, because they're clumsier. One of the dog's solution is to try to pick it up and dump it The suction cups keep the ferrets from doing that, at least. I haven't tried either of the Seek-a-Treat toys... I know they're made of pressed wood so it seems like it could only be used with dry food/treats? I don't think they're made to be washed often.

Loki got the dog version of the 3-in-1 toy and he loves it. I leave it out all the time but only occassionally put treats in the wells. I showed him the slidey-circle thing first and then the cups. It's a great toy. I wish I could buy more of the cups tho so it would take him a lot longer to get thru it! Its such a great toy, can't say anything bad about it!

I remember your ferrets model for stuff on Dr. Foster and Smith Hocus is such a cutie That is so funny that your dogs dump it upside down... clumsy, but pretty smart ;D I've only ever used freeze-dried treats with both, but I see what you're saying. If I want to put meat in it, I'd use the teach & treat since it's plastic.

DAWWW. Flower is adorable That's the game I have set up on theirs now as well, since they figured out the other two already ;D I still need to get videos and pictures, but I work until night time, so only the amber lights can be on then I'll have to do it on the weekend.
