Standing up to grab food from the treat ball

Peaches and Poof stand up on their hind legs to grab romaine lettuce from their hanging treat ball! They are quickly joined by Belka, then Truffle soon after. Although whee end up doing a bit more work to get our food, whee do enjoy getting our fresh veggies this way - its more fun for us! Our slaves swear that we are slightly less interested in our food when they just give it to us the normal way. Personally, whee just enjoy yanking it down, then arguing over choice bits amongst ourselves.

Why Whee Like Treat Balls

Treat balls are fun toys to have in our cages. They are durable metal cage balls that have openings so food and treats can be put into them. Treat balls can be hung from the top or sides of the cage at various heights. At first whee were startled by the jingling bell on the bottom, but we quickly got used to it. Not only does it provide an entertaining way for us to receive food, but it also motivates us to get some exercise by stretching and reaching for it. Our slaves fill it with whatever fresh greens they have on hand, or if we've already had plenty of greens for the day, with fresh timothy and orchard grass hay.

In the YouTube video, Coppy and Morry demonstrate how we use the treat ball! On this occasion it was filled with baby lettuce, radicchio, and a few dried corn husks.
