For our 38th foraging Friday I will be reviewing the Gefryco 3 Level Cat Tower. This foraging toy is technically a simple batting toy mean't for cats, but like many of my other foraging toys meant for other animals they work just as well (and sometimes better!) for rats.
As far as this tower toy goes the main attraction is for your cat (or rat :P) to bat the balls around. This toy comes with 6 balls to allow for that that easily snap in to the toys frame as well, and its pretty much the perfect size for rats to enjoy. I've taken this toy one step further by filling the 3 slotted balls with treats as well, adding extra incentive for my rats to bat around the balls and generally interact with the toy. Initially I expected this to be the only time they used the toy, but the longer I've left it out in free-range and the cage, the more I've seen the rats use it on their own without any treats as well, so it seems like it serves both a foraging purpose and an activity purpose for my rats. Cleaning wise the tower is easy to clean due to it being completely disassemblable. It only takes maybe 2-3 minutes tops to assemble or disassemblable it, and since everything is plastic you can easily clean it with water and then dry it off. Adding treats (if you choose to) is also easy - you can either place them in one of the 3 tracks the balls roll on, or place some small treats into the slotted balls for an extra challenge. Overall I was pleasantly surprised with this foraging toy and how much my rats have taken to using it. Initially I thought it would be a bit too large for the rats to comfortably use, but it ended up being quite a bit smaller than I thought and that made it the perfect size for my rats to enjoy.
