lots of helpful tips, thanks. I did not like the plastic ball though that looked like a real piss off thing. I bet my bunny Daisy wouldn't like it either. I will try the some of the other ball treats, she will like them. * _ *

My rabbits have always had treat balls but they know too well how to get the treats out now, as they are all about 4-5 years old, I will try the bottle instead because that will be different and hopefully stop them being so lazy! brilliant video!
thanks Stewie!
