Rocking Snack Toy with Tubes, Ball, and Spring Pompom
Product Description
The Trixie Junior Kitten Snack and Play is an interactive treat toy designed specifically for kittens. It combines a rocking base, a rotating ball, and a playful pompom on a spiral spring with four removable tubes that hide snacks and small toys. Kittens must bat, swat, and investigate to retrieve their rewards, promoting dexterity, mental sharpness, and natural hunting skills. All parts are dishwasher safe and made from BPA, phthalate, and lead-free materials.
Features
- Rotating ball on top
- Plush pompom on spiral spring
- 4 removable treat tubes
- Tubes hide snacks and small toys
Benefits
- Rocking Base Action: The rocking base creates unpredictable movement as kittens interact with the toy, mimicking prey behavior and triggering kittens' instincts to stalk, pounce, and engage.
- Rotating Ball Stimulation: The rotating ball on top of the rocking base spins and moves independently, giving kittens an additional bat-and-chase target to swat at during every play session.
- Spiral Spring Pompom: A plush pompom attached to a spiral spring bounces and sways with every touch, attracting kittens' attention and encouraging repeated batting.
- Removable Treat Tubes: Four removable tubes that hide dry snacks or small toys reward kittens for investigating the toy, adding a treat-discovery element.
- Trains Kitten Dexterity: Using paws and mouth to retrieve snacks from the tubes and interact with the ball and pompom helps kittens develop fine motor coordination.

How to Use
Play Instructions
- Fill the Treat Tubes: Unscrew each of the four removable tubes and place small, bite-size dry treats or dry kibble inside, then screw the tubes back onto the base before giving the toy to your kitten.
- Place on a Flat Surface: Set the toy on a flat, stable floor surface so the rocking base can sway freely and the rotating ball and spring pompom can move in response to your kitten's interaction.
- Encourage First Interaction: Gently tap the toy to start the rocking motion and attract your kitten's attention; the moving ball, spring pompom, and rocking base will naturally draw kittens in to investigate.
Additional Information
Care Instructions
- Dishwasher Safe: All plastic components are dishwasher safe; unscrew the treat tubes, separate all removable parts, and place them on the top rack of the dishwasher after each use for a thorough clean.
- Remove Treat Residue First: Before placing components in the dishwasher, shake out any remaining dry treat pieces from the tubes to prevent food residue from hardening during the wash cycle.
- Hand Wash the Plush Pompom: The plush pompom is not dishwasher safe; hand wash it with mild soap and cool water when needed and allow it to air dry before returning it to play.
Safety Instructions
- Supervise All Play: Always watch your kitten closely during every play session to ensure the toy's components are used safely and that the pompom, tubes, and ball are not being chewed or pulled apart.
- Dry Treats Only in Tubes: Use only small, dry treats or dry kibble in the tubes; wet or moist foods can be difficult to clean from the tube interiors and may cause bacterial buildup inside the components.
- Inspect for Damage Before Use: Before each session, check the rocking base, rotating ball, spiral spring, pompom, and tubes for any cracks, loose parts, or wear, and stop use if any component appears damaged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What makes this toy different from a standard treat toy?
Ans: This toy combines three interactive elements in one: a rocking base, a rotating ball on top, and a plush pompom on a spiral spring. It also features four removable treat tubes that hide dry snacks for kittens to discover, creating a multisensory play-and-reward experience in every session.
Q2: How do the removable treat tubes work?
Ans: The four removable tubes unscrew from the base for easy filling. Simply add small dry treats or kibble inside, screw them back on, and place the toy on the floor. Kittens must investigate the toy and interact with each tube to discover and access the hidden snacks during play.
Q3: Is this toy suitable for adult cats as well as kittens?
Ans: This toy is specially designed for kittens within the Trixie Junior series. The compact 7.1-inch diameter and kitten-focused features make it best suited for young cats. However, curious adult cats that enjoy treat-discovery and batting toys may also find this toy engaging and stimulating during play.
Q4: Is this toy dishwasher safe?
Ans: Yes, all plastic components are dishwasher safe. Unscrew the treat tubes and separate all removable parts before placing them on the top rack of the dishwasher. The plush pompom is not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed properly with mild soap and cool water, then air-dried fully.
Q5: What treats can I use with this toy?
Ans: Use only small, bite-size dry treats or dry kibble inside the removable tubes. Wet, moist, or sticky foods are not suitable as they can be difficult to clean from the tube interiors and may cause odors or bacterial buildup over time. Always use treats appropriate for your kitten's age and diet.
Q6: How does this toy help with kitten development?
Ans: The rocking, batting, and treat-retrieval actions required to interact with this toy train kittens' paw-eye coordination, problem-solving skills, and fine motor dexterity from an early age. The mental challenge of discovering treats inside the tubes also supports cognitive development through rewarding, enrichment-based play.
Q7: Does this toy include small toys for the tubes?
Ans: No, small toys are not included with this toy. The removable tubes are designed to be filled with dry treats or kibble. You may also place very small lightweight toys inside the tubes if desired, though this use is optional and parental supervision during such play is always recommended.

Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.

If your shipment has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us. We will review the tracking information, work with the carrier when necessary, and assist with an appropriate resolution based on the circumstances.
