Highlighted Reviews

β€” Terry

"Cami loves Hedgehogs. There’s something about it being ball shaped. She prefers toys that are round. She loves this one as much as her brown Hedgies."

β€” Christopher

"The toy is the size of my hand. My german shepherd does not care for it as tho its so small. Very disappointing"

Bottom Line

While it may not be worth it for dogs that can chew through it quickly, it's a great value if your dog just loves to bat and squeak it. Keep this as a backup toy.
