Puzzle for rats at petstore - would they use it?

[thinking]

I saw a cool looking toy at the petstore the other day. The rat lifts a wooden shape out of a puzzle board and there may or may not be a treat hidden underneath. Does anyone have one and do their rats use it? It was between 20 and 30 $ so I don't want to buy it if they don't use it, but I thought it looked pretty fun.

Mine isn´t wooden, but I have one called teach´n treat..
I often forget to use it tho, and she´s the only one that likes it, but here´s a film in use..

Not sure if it´s helpful tho..

Oh wow, I would so buy that and use it on the rats, put something really yummy in some of them and let them work hard at getting the treat.

I just wish she´d understand that the treat don´t magically reappear in the same spot twice...

lol hey, she's got to try it.

Yep

I'm pretty sure that's the one. It was still in the box, so I guess it was plastic and not wooden.

I think it looks fun. See how long it takes before they begin to always look under the same peg etc. I may have to splurge and buy one

Thanks for sharing the video!

Nirvana got it almost immediately, but she is used to treat balls and stuff.. I haven´t used it a lot.. It´s on top of my bookshelf, so I often forget about it..
