My boy kittens figured it out in 30 seconds. I set the size as big as possible so they got the treats (cat food) at maximum. I will change to a smaller size now that they know how to get it now. I buy all toys etc with the fact that one of them is blind
Works well.. Got our lazy cat moving!
The snack dispenser is really cute she shows for adjusting the dispensing hole depending on how much you want to come out or snack size. My only concern is that my cat refuses to use because it gives a good whop to the head when it swings around. It's pretty heavy so while that's good for quality it hits hard. My cat isn't as spunky so she doesn't move fast enough to avoid the bop. I'd still recommend. She still goes to it for snacks for doesn't touch it so I move it around for her lol
It took a second and a little demo for my cats to figure it out, but once they did they were obsessed. My only complaint is that it's pretty noisy on a hardwood floor and it doesn't rock well if I put it on even a short pile rug. Still worth it.
My cat wore out his previous bobble treat dispenser, so I had to get a new one. It came with a foot-long plastic "stick" with a ball attached at the top. After a few uses, for some reason my cat kept breaking the stick, so I kept re-placing the shorter ones he "made," until it was only an inch or so in height. He hasn't bothered with the shorter one - job done, I guess! But he loves knocking it around to get the treats to fall out. Only problem - the switch to regulate the openings. Only one hole can be "regulated" while the other remains closed - OR you have to open them both fully and the treats drop out without it being "bopped." Defeats the purpose of making the cat work for his treats!
He already had a smaller one, but he's gotten bigger so this bigger, heavier one is better for him. However the small one had a better hole size controller - this one is not so great. I need to tape it to keep at the optimal size. It also didn't come w/ the orange ball in the center track, which was one reason I ordered it. He likes the one on top, but one in the middle would have added more interest.
