Warning! Evil home-wreckers!
This innocent looking toy starts every fight in our fur-family! Don't be fooled by the cute innocent looking squirrel faces! They are truly evil and need to kept up on the highest shelf

We have the Bees in the Hive, except Fleur always gets her head stuck in the hive.

I wanted to get one of these for Dudley because he loves pulling things out of his toys - like the stuffing or the squeaker. But I was worried that he might swallow the small toys. I guess your spoos are not trying to eat them or you wouldn't be letting them play with this kind of toy? So tell me how the playing goes. Do they pull out one toy and then go back for another? Ha, like we need more toys in our house!

We have one, but the squirrels seem to prefer to live under the sofa...

Oh! That looks so cute! Does it keep your poos busy for a long time?
Do the small animals last or are they quickly chewed apart?
I noticed they sell replacement animals.
Would you recommend getting replacements at the same time?
What size would you recommend? (Large or Jumbo. I don't think we would need junior or gigantic.) We have a mpoo and may be getting a spoo this fall.
Thanks for posting this. I may be looking into getting some of the puzzles as well. Any recommendations?

I want them all, too--LOL Wonder if we could do a group buy on these, too. But, the price is already great.

I actually bought mine on eBay from the US - even with postage they were a fraction of the UK price, and excellent value. Pop a couple of tiny treats or a chew in the "nest" under the squirrels or whatever and they are great fun for dogs like Sophy, who love to unpack and empty things.

Too cute. I want to get one for Ralph but he rips the stuffing out of everything.

Honestly ... we've had it for years. Our last spoo and Rufus had no problems with it, because Rufus was definitely the boss of Roscoe ... but Russell looks at me as the Alpha and he loves the squirrels! So if Rufus happens to grab one it's a huge battle! One of the Squirrels has escaped and is buried out in the snow somewhere, hopefully we'll find it in the spring. Russell LOVES this toy, takes him less than a minute to get all the squirrels out of the log, then it's usually a game of fetch with one till we stuff them back in and start over again  But unfortunately it spends a fair bit of time WAY up on the shelf, only comes down for supervised play due to sibling wars
