I literally woke up thinking of a few more enrichment ideas - who loves you and your pets? Auntie Edna does!
There are always the balls and mats, but also:
*interactive feeders (some which are great for raw feeders too)
*food (and when I say food, I'm including kibble and treats here) in an empty egg carton
*the shell game where you hide food under a container and they have to sniff it out
*Licky mats, available in many pet stores and online
*Adventure boxes (thanks to Justice for Bullies for this idea) where you place food in egg cartons, smaller boxes, toys, etc., in a larger box and have them sniff
*Toilet paper and paper towel rolls lined up in a box (first saw this through Whiskers & Wags Pet Services) and toss a bit of food inside, or fold the ends up with a treat inside
*Wrapping paper twisted up with food inside
See where I'm going with this? It doesn't have to be expensive and it's in your home right now! And sure, some of these ideas are going to make a mess, but isn't it worth the 5 minute clean up to watch your dog enjoy something new that enriches them and works their brain?
If you live somewhere warm, can I come live with you? I want to be somewhere that doesn't make my face hurt when I go outside :s
