Entertaining Puzzle Toy With 3 Buzzy Bees
I had so many requests for IQube Puzzle cubes that I added them to our store. When I was looking at IQubes I found this new item by the same company. Betsy just loves everyone of these Hide A toys. It has the same principal of an IQube puzzle toy because you put the little bees into the beehive for your dog to find and remove. We have to put these toys away from time to time because Betsy will not stop taking the little bees out and bringing me the hive to put them back in. Norman just wants to carry the bees around and squeak them. You can probably tell there is not a lot of quiet time at our house.
The hive is about 7 1/2 inches high and is about 6 inches in diameter and has three bee holes in it. The hive contains 3 smiling bees with darling wings.
The instructions say:
1. Your dog will be most attracted to IQube if your scent is on the toy. To best transfer your scent to the toy, we recommend you place it in your laundry basket of already worn, but unlaundered and dry, clothes for a minimum of 12 hours before introducing it to your pet.
2. Next, introduce your dog to the squeaker balls by removing them from inside the cube and playing with them interactively with your pet for a few minutes.
3. Once your pet is engaged and interested in the squeaker balls, place the balls back inside the cube. Squeak them several times after they have been placed inside the cube, and let your dog go from there. After your dog has successfully removed the squeaker balls from the cube, you may replace them repeatedly for maximum fun, entertainment and skill development.
4. Most dogs also enjoy trying to get treats and other toys out from inside the cube.
Nuit the amazing border collie lives with this toy as follows:
1) He'll pull out one bee, squeak and shake it
2) Pull out one bee, throw it aside, then stick his nose into hive and squeak the other bees inside the hive
3) Shake the hive so hard that all the bees literally fly out
4) Play tug with the empty hive
5) Nap with his nose on the toy, or with a pile of the bees.
I can't say enough about these toys. He still adores his squirrels too. Oh, and we replace a squirrel or a bee maybe twice a year, truly remarkable for this guy.
This is the absolute best investment I've made for my boy's bottomless toy box.
