Hagen Living World Teach N Treat Toy

I'll be the first to admit it, my guinea pigs are dumb. I've had smart piggies before, but these two just try to bite (or pee) their way out of all their problems. It gets a little predictable, so I bought them this treat board to get them to use their tiny brains for once. So far only Roxie (my 5 year old pig) has been able to solve level 1 sometimes, but not every time. After 5 minutes of watching them try to figure it out I usually re-show them that yes, the blue disc moves, and that helps them figure it out... about half the time, lol. So far they've used it about 6 or 7 times, and they still don't seem to understand how it works. The pictures I added are from their 5th time with the toy, they've seen it enough to know what it is but they don't seem to get it. And yes, in one of the pics that is my pig biting the /side/ of it lmao. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer... The first time I used it, I tried putting their Oxbow vitamin C tablets as the treats (bad choice, don't do that) and the tablets had to be positioned just so to fit. Roxie and Cosette (my 1 year old alpha) made a team effort and got the treats uncovered, but the treats were wedged in there to the point they couldn't get them out! I felt bad, but they were so determined to get the treat they shoved their noses into the hole and kept biting at me when I tried to free the treats for them. It was pretty funny, and I've since tried using small bits of lettuce and these 'O' shaped treats that are the size of my thumbnail, the latter of which works very well. Vegetables like green bell peppers, cucumber, or carrot, would probably work the best. All of them hold their shape well and are great for guinea pigs (cucumber in moderation). Every time I put the treat board in their cage they run up to the side of the cage and continue gnawing on the bars, probably hoping I won't make them solve a logic puzle for their food haha. Roxie usually starts chutting at me (the annoyed clicking sound guinea pigs make) but gets the treat anyway, and Cosette typically just steals Roxie's treat insread of getting her own. No matter how much I supervise them she always steals the treat instead of earning it, even when I try to stop her. If you have a young/dumb dominant pig like I do, consider presenting the toy to each pig on their own, or provide more treats than you have guinea pigs so they can't hoard them. I guess what I'm trying to say is the toy didn't exactly work out for my pigs, but it's a quality logic toy and I'll continue to "torture" my pets by enriching their minds with a logic puzzle lol. There was another reviewer with guinea pigs that said their pigs solved all 3 levels quickly, so don't be discouraged by my review! My pigs aren't great at problem solving, but using very small treats they go nuts for helps keep them motivated. Be prepared to watch your pet(s) bite the toy and dig under it for a bit, but if they're getting too frustrated you can adjust the lid until they understand the food is in the toy, not around it. Rabbits and rats may find it easier to solve, but I can't say for sure. No matter what pet you have it's loads of fun watching them try to solve it!

We got this for our pet rabbit after his companion passed away, to give him more games/activities. This was one of a few that we use with him, and highly recommended among the mix we give. As recommended, we tested our rabbit on "easy mode" which he figured out right away. Then we moved him up to other levels. I like that they provide different "modes" to change up the challenges for our pet. Note that this device has suction cups on the bottom. Since our rabbit lives in a carpeted room (and most do since they don't like hard floors) that isn't as helpful for us. But it hasn't been an issue either.

I bought this for my little lop to give her some more stimulation than I can offer her. It took her a while to figure out there were treats inside it but now she loves it! The levels 2 and 3 are supposed to be "increased difficulty" but were actually easier for her. I put sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds in there and a few pellets when I give her dinner and it's fun watching her tear into it and move the disc around and even totally dismantle it sometimes. I started just putting in bird seed because I was worried about her weight lol. Yeah, she's figured it out but she still has to work for the treats and claws and bites at it and I think it's great for getting some energy out. It's taken some pretty hard abuse from her and it's stood up to it no problem. I even put some treats in there and hide it and she gets into it sometimes during the night so it makes me happy too. I'd for sure get this if you have a curious little destructive bunny :)

My guinea pig is a genius and I just needed confirmation of this. He solved all three levels on his first try, so this confirms it. Okay, just kidding that’s not why I bought it. (Although, he did solve all 3 levels on the first try) Toby is 5 now and I want to keep his “senior” mind sharp. It would have been nice if this were a little more challenging, but after reading a few other piggy mom reviews, I see that not all piggies display the same level of intellect. 😎 There should be more of these on the market. Super fun and a great bonding activity. My only complaint would be the way the wells are shaped because Toby had a hard time getting the treat out (after he locates it) and has to really dig his nose in there which is a little unsettling to watch.

I use this with my 4 rats to give at playtime and have them use some skills to retrieve food and treats instead of getting it in a bowl. Most of my boys figured it out pretty quickly as they are very smart and I found myself moving up in levels fast! Once they figured out the last level I saw ways to make my own challenges. Even when they know how to beat it I still use it because it provides more enrichment. A must have for me.

Overall, this is worth the purchase if your rabbit is bored and is highly motivated by food/treats. There are three levels of difficulty to this toy, and my rabbit figured them all out on the first day. I have created a "fourth" level of difficulty by combining the sliding component and the plugs, and then piling a bunch of wooden blocks on top to force him to dig for the treats. It works pretty well. However, this toy does present a potential choking hazard which can be removed. If your rabbit is anything like mine, then you know that they will eat anything they get their teeth on. He especially enjoys rubbery-type materials for some reason. On the underside of this toy are small suction cups that I imagine are useful on tile or wood floors. I placed mine carpet, and therefore is easily flipped over. Luckily I was home when my rabbit decided he was interested in eating the suction cups. I had to remove them after realizing he had eaten an entire one and had started eating a second one. The size of the suction cups is such that it presents a choking hazard. But they are removable, so the hazard can be removed.

My bunny normally does not play with her toys, but since this is one involving food she would play with it. There are different levels of difficulties, but my bun solved them all pretty quickly. It's a simple toy, but she wouldn't play with it unless there's a treat in it. Simple to assemble and change up. Only downfall is that it might had been too simple for her seeing that she figured out the hardest difficulty in like a minute, and it only took that long because she was busy eating the previous treats.

This is my favorite toy for my chinchillas because it enables me to interact more with them. Instead of just giving them a chew toy and watching, I can hide treats in the cubbies and have the chinchillas try to find them. It's a lot of fun to watch them steadily get better at the games, and they're always really excited to see this toy when I put it in their cage. Highly recommended if you want something that lets you be more interactive with small pets! I don't know if really small animals (like small mice) can use this toy well, but animals that are about the same size as chinchillas and larger can definitely use this.

Mon lapin est fan de ce type de jeux avec lesquels il s'amuse beaucoup. C'est un produit de qualité : plastique dur, les ventouses tiennent bien au sol. A acheter d'autant qu'il n'existe que très peu de jeu d'intelligence pour les lapins ! En revanche, moi, je n'ai pas compris comment mettre en place le dernier niveau ... Je ne 'vois' pas comment les cônes peuvent 'coulisser'. Un petit bémol donc pour le mode d'emploi mais rien de grave. Je vais bien finir par trouver ... N'hésitez pas à regarder les jeux pour les chiens. Certains conviennent parfaitement aux lapins !

my rabbit loves this!

Our rabbit loves this so much! 3 different ways to put it together keeps it interesting, it hasn't been chewed yet, he keeps going over to it to make me put treats in it, easy to put together and set up, really great price, came with instructions, easy to clean

My babies still haven't learned it yet, waiting for some treats to get them started.

I was having a hard time finding things for my bunny to play with as she has no front teeth so chewing toys are out of the question. When I saw this I thought I'd give it a try and its a huge hit! She has figured out level 1 already and its so fun to watch her figure out how to get the treats. I will be ordering more for my other bunnies soon!
