Ground-breaking small animal accessories brand, HayPigs!, releases another World’s first; a highly innovative, 3-in-1, treat ball. This new product brings interaction, stimulation and play to a new level with its inventive multifunctionality and striking aesthetic.

Designed for guinea pigs and other small furries, the HayPigs! Circus Treat Ball consists of two uniquely designed hemispheres that can be joined together or used independently. As a complete ball, users can fill it with finally chopped vegetables and fruit (or portion-controlled pellet food) and let their small furries discover how to get at the treats. This usually involves them rolling the ball about with their noses until the treats drop out. This kind of food challenge is a great way of keeping your pets active and stimulated, and can actually reduce their stress levels while keeping them happy and healthy.

Split the ball in half and the two hemispheres can be used to hide treats underneath for small furries to find with their noses. This scent led game encourages foraging (a natural behaviour from their ancestors’ time in the wild), wonderful for the mental stimulation and enrichment of your pets.

The third feature of HayPigs! Circus Treat Ball is it’s arrangement of star-shaped holes on one side of the ball. These stars fulfil two purposes; to release treats when the ball is whole, and to allow users to wedge an array of vegetables and herbs into them to create an additional feeding challenge. This is another completely unique feature of HayPigs! Circus Treat Ball and is ideal for encouraging small furries to interact with one another. With 6 holes, the ball can be packed out, so there are plenty of treats for everyone.

The HayPigs! Circus Treat Ball - 3-in-1 Enrichment Toy retails at £9.99 and is part of the HayPigs! Guinea Pig Circus range. It is suitable for guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters and other small animals.

The HayPigs! Circus Treat Ball has been shortlisted as a finalist for Pet Product of the Year in the Small Animals category at this years’ PetQuip Awards. It has also amassed some impressive pre-orders after its soft launch via social media a week ago.

The HayPigs! Circus Treat Ball will be showcased at PATS Telford in September.
