 Great for Slowing Down A Scarfer December 16, 2009

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1GU09XG0Y8JKQ My cat loves to eat. He will eat until he throws up if given the chance. He scarfs his meals and then runs over to eat my other cat's food. It has been annoying having to wait around for cat #2 to finish eating, or having to lock them in separate rooms for meals. That's where the food ball came in. My cat took to it in seconds. He knew his food was in there rattling around and it clicked for him immediately. This video is actually his first time using it, and he successfully ate the whole meal this way. With cat #2 safely eating his dinner from his bowl and cat #1 preoccupied with his new food ball, they finished at the same time and no food was stolen! This has been the PERFECT fix for an annoying multiple-cat situation!
One of the few food toys that you can adjust how much comes out June 12, 2009

While I don't have cats, I have two shetland sheepdogs, one 22 lbs, the other 30 lbs. My 30 lbs girl was getting far too good at removing kibbles from her Premier Waggle and her large Tricky Treat Ball. Neither of these toys were adjustable in how much comes out, unless you want to get larger kibble and I didn't want to change kibbles.
I stumbled across this item and ordered one because I like the idea that it's adjustable. There are two types of holes the food can come out of: a set of 3 smaller round holes, and another set of 3 larger holes. You adjust which holes you want by unlocking a little mechanism and twisting half of the ball so that it's where ever you want it. I have it set on the larger holes but the large holes are too big for my kibble, so I've twisted it to where only part of the larger holes are revealed. I'm also considering covering one of the 3 holes with tape on the inside so kibble can only come out of 2 holes.
The dogs love these, they roll them around with their noses. My younger boy sheltie was intrigued by it even when it was empty, he can *just* fit it in his mouth and he "noms" on it. He might be able to crack the plastic by doing this, so I take it away when it's empty.
You fill the toy by unscrewing an end cap of the ball. It's a good sized hole so it's easy to fill. My boy sheltie is able to grasp the little knob on this cap and unscrew it so all the kibble dumps out (it doesn't have to be turned far, less than a half turn). Clever boy! I covered the cap with electrician's tape so he can't unscrew it. However, he can also grip both halves of the ball and twist them so that the large holes are fully exposed, even though it's supposed to be "locked". I'll try tape again there to keep him from twisting it. I don't knock a star off for this because this toy wasn't made for dogs, it's made for cats who are quite a bit smaller than my dogs. I just wanted to see if I could make this work for my pups, and with a little fiddling, it will.
My girl sheltie only rolls this ball around to get food out, she doesn't try to open it like the boy does.
I'm ordering another so my pups don't have to share a ball.

Great for multiple cat households February 14, 2010

In our house we have two male cats, that were fed twice a day. They used to engulf there food without seeming to take a breath. We decided to look into ways of encouraging them to slow down. The first thing we tried was separating them into different rooms. This worked but they still ate quickly. Wishing our cats got more exercise in the winter we decided to give this product a try. It took a few times for the cats to get used to the concept of having to work for their food but we have been able to progressively choose smaller wholes. Instead of taking them 2min to eat their entire meal it has now slowed them down and they actually leave food behind for later. This product has worked great. Having an adjustable piece to change the size of the wholes from SUPER easy to fairly challenging allows the cats plenty of ease in learning how to use it.
I would recommenced this for anyone who's cats compete for food or eat to fast. Also for overweight cats "as ours are".
Wonderful Product for Most Cats February 25, 2010

I really love this adjustable treat/food ball. I have 2 Burmese cats that get a small amount of dental diet each evening and the adjustable holes on this ball work great even for the larger sized kibbles. The ball gives the cats exercise and mental stimulation-as close to hunting prey as my indoor cats are likely to get. It is a real joy to see them so happy and engaged.
