Questions & Answers

6 Customer Questions

is this a soft or hard "ball" for dogs to play with or can they pop this with their teeth?

Answer by Chewy • Sep 28, 2020
This ball feeder for horses is designed to dispense treats, pellets or grain as it is rolled around.

How big is the hole where the treats sre dispensed (dimentions) ?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 06, 2021
The opening is approximately 1.5 inches wide.

Anyone use this in a stall? If so, does it get filled up with shavings as the horse pushes it around?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 21, 2022
We have not had anyone complain about these filling with shavings!

How much, in cups, does this feeder hold?

Answer by Chewy • Dec 12, 2022
The manufacturer does not have a cup capacity for this ball feeder but this is a 9 inch ball feeder, designed for horses so it will hold a good amount.

This is a cool treat toy for in the stall. I put horse treats in it. My horse loves pushing it around with his nose in the stall. I think this is a win, win for interaction and keeping him entertained for awhile. The horse treats I put in there were Tribute horse treats, they fit perfectly in the toy and seem to come out pretty good, so he could get a good treat when he tip it ver to the hole. It is a decent size octagon shape toy. It is made of plastic. Hopefully it will hold up.

I bought this for my horse Ghillie but my dog pippen was bored and needed some enrichment so I thought I would see what he would do with the ball and he loved it!

Neat Idea

It’s a neat idea but the treats kind of get stuck and my horse loses interest quickly. She isn’t super aggressive and is polite about rolling it so maybe that’s

Fun but difficult

The hole that allows treats and food to come out has an edge inside that makes it even hard for a human to shake or roll out what you put inside. It it was flush

The hole that allows treats and food to come out has an edge inside that makes it even hard for a human to shake or roll out what you put inside. It it was flush would work better. Had to to a little modification now works pretty well

Lasted seven months and took a beating, will definitely be missed

My horse was obsessed with his snack ball. It has been his best friend for a very long time, and then last week I spotted it lying in his paddock and looking weird

My horse was obsessed with his snack ball. It has been his best friend for a very long time, and then last week I spotted it lying in his paddock and looking weird. It was dead. It had a good run, but I am surprised he was able to crush it the way he did. Wish I had been there to witness the killing. He’s as sad about it as I am.

Keeps her entertained between visits

Lola gets her Mrs. Pastures treats when we finish her daily grooming, exercise, and stretches. It keeps her occupied until dinner feeding. Her neighboring mule insists

Lola gets her Mrs. Pastures treats when we finish her daily grooming, exercise, and stretches. It keeps her occupied until dinner feeding. Her neighboring mule insists on having some hay in a larger ball, because Lola shouldn't be having all the fun.

Horse loves this!

My horse spent hours rolling this ball around, trying to get the treats out. Definitely kept him happy and occupied in his stall!

Ponies not interested in these yet

I have shown them that tasty pellets come out, but so far ( about 10 days) they are not emptying them or doing anything with them. Perhaps in time, they will.

Indestructible!

My 6 year old Mustang is very playful and destroys everything I have given him. Up until now! This treat ball is the bomb! Hours of fun for him rolling it around

My 6 year old Mustang is very playful and destroys everything I have given him. Up until now! This treat ball is the bomb! Hours of fun for him rolling it around and eating the feed pellets that drop out! He bites it, paws at it (quite vigorously) and hasnt been able to even put a dent in it!
