Foraging for food, usually treats, is an important sugar glider
activity to stimulate. Foraging toys keep gliders active
and are also a marvelous way to demonstrate the natural curiosity of
gliders.
These braided vine balls make it easy to insert a variety of your suggies' favorite
treats. Simply slide papaya or mango treats into
the balls and watch your suggie go ballistic! You can also
wedge treats into the outside of the vine balls.
The simplest way to use this toy is to remove the vine balls from
the hardwood stick, then push a treat or treats into the vine balls
through a gap in the vines. Then put the vine balls
back on the stick and you're ready to go! Easy. Then hide the
Vine Barbells in various places in the cage and watch as your sugar
gliders do some heavy lifting!
Your gliders will find the treats and probably try to get them
out through the sides of the ball. This can be tough because
the balls, when on the stick, are not as easy for them to look over
for holes to reach into. Sometime later the
vine ball will get pulled off the stick and your glider will find a
suitable hole to reach through and pull out the treat. Puzzle solved!
Then, you just rebuild the foraging toy with new treats and watch
as your gliders get better and faster at figuring out how to get at
their treats!
The Vine balls are about
1 1/2" wide, Stick 4 1/2" long. The toy can be configured a bunch of different ways, for example,
with the stick through one or both balls as shown. Using different configurations will maintain the
challenge and help keep your gliders interested in discovering new
solutions.
If your glider is a chewer, the parts of this all natural toy might
be chewed. No worries - the hardwood stick and vine balls will not harm
them, and the dye used on the stick is glider-safe (stick colors
vary).
The Vine Barbell is inexpensive, simple, and effective
entertainment for your sugar gliders!
