Tear a piece of newspaper and scrunch it up and push it down into one end of the toilet roll.
Next stick in a little bit of hay.
Pop in the dried fruit.
Add another piece of newspaper at the other end.
Stab some holes using the scissors into the roll. This is so the animals can smell the treat better and a slight opening for them to rip open the kong.
Give to your animal and you are done!
My rabbits love them!
This is really cute. My only concern is the toxic elements in the paper roll. I have 2 Degus. They say that you should only put natural materials in the cage for them to chew on. They can get sick off the glues and such, especially the newspaper ink if they ingest some. Sorry. Don't want to be a bubble burster.:(
It's very rare that that actually happens and that's only if the animal eats a lot of it and I mean a lot. Like say if you were giving your rabbit a big wad of newspaper everyday. It's like with dogs and grapes, a couple aren't going to do anything but if the dog swallows a whole box then they can make then get liver disease- this is very common for dogs on vineyards. Anyway, enough of my ramblings-in other words- it's perfectly fine every once in a while. And just to let you know my local animal shelter(RSPCA)give newspaper to their rabbits on the odd ocassion.
Just too cute and so smart of you to come up with an edible toy for your bunnie rabbit! I like to put boxes that are empty from food, like cake mix boxes, in my Love Bird's cage! You should see her tear them up Shiv! You would just die laughing!!!
Sorry...
