Towel roll

A household idea. Nothing to buy unless you want the optional supplies.

Roll kibble in a tea towel and let them nudge it open. It is the fastest homemade snuffle, and it costs nothing if the towel is already clean.

Best for

A first forage game, under supervision, for animals who do not eat cloth

Good to know

Supervision. If they bite the towel, end the game. Cloth is not a meal.

Best for

A quiet half-hour at home, including before a noisy evening, if they already know the food
