For mental stimulation I used to take easter eggs and put food in them and hide them around the house for Delilah. The problem is, that plastic is so brittle she'd usually end up cracking them while she was getting the food out. I didn't want her to cut her mouth on the plastic so I stopped using them.
Does anyone know if there are durable, dog safe "easter eggs" or pods that I can use instead? Online it said to cut a slit in a tennis ball, but she eats tennis balls and then has trouble pooping them out. I was thinking maybe something thicker and rubbery like a kong. That either has a slit in the bottom or some simple way to put in treats and for the dog to get them out. I'm looking more for a toy you can hide things in than a chew toy.
If this doesn't exist do you think it would be a good product idea? My dad's a plastics engineer and when I was little he'd make simple little toys for me- I wonder if that's something we could make/sell.
