For our 43rd foraging Friday I will be reviewing the OurPets Sushi Interactive Puzzle Game. This is a foraging toy meant for dogs and cats, but its works great for rats as well. To fill this toy is very simple - just push the sushi-shaped circled aside, fill the holes underneath with a few small treats each, then push the covers back over the holes to cover up the treats.
As far as the rats using this toy goes all they have to do is push or pull on the sushi covers, thereby exposing the treats in the holes underneath. Then they can take all the treats in the hole they exposed. They can then finish getting the rest of the treats by either pushing aside or pulling aside each sushi cover and eating the treat underneath. This toy isn't the most complex but its a great way to introduce rats to foraging since it has a very clear action for them to do and immediate reward. Cleaning wise this toy is made of plastic so its easy to quickly wipe down and clean whenever crumbs build up. I haven't used any liquid treats in this foraging toy yet but I imagine those would be easy to wipe clean afterwards as well. Overall this is a very cute and fun foraging toy that is a great way to introduce your rats to the concept of foraging. As some of you may know I recently added 2 baby rats to my group and both girls are new to foraging, so this toy was a great way to encourage them to interact with objects around them for an immediate reward. It didn't post much of a challenge to my more experienced foraging rats, but they still very much enjoyed working it.
