I have seen the Chinese take out boxes in the craft stores before I guess I better look closer next time.

These are the balls we use for stuffing nuts in, they always go for the ball over the loose nuts in their dishes.

I know this thread is older but I haven't been able to post in a while.

We like to do several things with Ollie. We also wrap nuts in coffee filters, but then we take that and wrap it up in a snow cone and then put that inside a toilet paper roll. He loves ripping through all the layers.

Every now and then, I will take the wrapped up treat and build a building around it with alphabet blocks. I've gotten it refined to a building with three possible chambers where the treat might be. When I am done and have hidden the treat inside, I tap the building and tell Ollie "Godzilla." He will then run over and destroy the building until he finds the nut. It is quite funny. I don't hide the treat until the very end, so he has learned that if he doesn't wait for the command and destroys the building too soon, no treat.

One of these days I am going to have to post a video on this.

Sherry
