I just receive it, and the hole in the bottom is so big that the treats will fall out. What treats can be put in these without that happening?

Kongs generally are stuffed with something soft that squishes in. I often make up a mixture of kibble and yogurt, stuff it with that and then freeze it. You can also fill it with kibble and then stuff a few slices of string cheese in the bottom to wedge the kibbles in. People also use chicken broth, wet dog food, pumpkin and peanut butter.

I stuff 3 or 4 treats called Well Bars made by Wellness. They are slightly wider than the opening, so I put them in length wise and then turn them across the opening. Kong makes different treats for their various toys, but I use the grain-free treats from Wellness because of allergies. 3

I put treats in and then fill the opening with peanut butter or that can cheese and freeze for about 20 minutes. The dogs love it and being frozen takes them a little longer to eat. :)

I suppose you can buy XL treats, but I put peanut butter inside and it keeps my Rottweiler entertained for a good long time.

Sorry, I wondered the same thing so it is just a toy (that my puppy can't destroy)

I have not had an issue with them unscrewing the parts. Are you sure you have it tight enough. My dogs roll it all around and eat kibble as it falls out. I have small dogs.

You unscrew a small lid at the bottom to put treats or food inside, then seal it again so the ball rolls. Be sure the holes at the top are closed before you add food!

The opening is about the size of a quarter. Treats don't fall out easily unless the treat is small.

Most dog food will probably fall out. I sometimes mix some dog food with peanut butter and that keeps it from falling out.

Your bag is most likely defective. It is impossible to know for how long exactly those holes have been there, in which case many different bacteria could have entered it. I would not feed that to my dog.

I'm pretty sure you dont need extra holes. There are times that I've left them in there for a couple of days, accidently, and they are fine. But the trap is full of poop. I'm glad you're concerned about their welfare. They are so cute!

My pups use a combination of mouth and paws to get the cups out of the indentation in order to get to the treat. I think even a chihuahua could manage this. My ~5pound Papillon can get into it if the other pups give him the opportunity. But mostly this is a toy for the pap/russell terriers.

The egg just screws shut. It remains closed, but the holes are big, so the treats just fall out.

There is a hole about half an inch in diameter that goes through the ball. I see no problem with stuffing some small treats in it that your dog will LOVE chasing!

Hi there, there is a hole each side of the ball, on is slightly larger than the other. You may get small treats in the ball but I am not sure how hard it would be to get them out. My Lab loves squashing the ball in his mouth as he likes the suction action it gives, it is also great in the water as it floats.

It's pretty easy to shove a few in at a time, there are some soft rubber nubs inside the hole, I trimmed them down and removed one so the dogs could get them back out. Each side would hold probably a little less than a cup, I only put 10 or 15 kibbles in each side for a snack/game.

Evidently the sizes of the hole in the bone and the refills really vary. I bought the soup bone at Petsmart. The treats do not fit in tightly at all. Dog gets them out in about 2 minutes vs the old style bone (that takes the same refills & that we have to sometimes pound in). If you drop it, they pop out. I'd rather have to pound it in so our dog gets at least a half hour of working and chewing it. Unfortunately it doesn't look like they sell the older style bone any more. Our dog is only a 22 pound shih tzu / yorkie mix, but she's quite the power chewer.

i've put whole and halved hot dogs & sausages in the ball, but the hole goes all the way through the ball so i wouldn't buy this if you're looking for something to stuff with a handful of small treats.

I would say maybe a cup...the ball is a good size and the opening is about an inch in diameter...I only put a few dry treats in at a time - it's not the easiest thing to clean out.

You can divide it in small portions and freeze it. I do that for my small doxie.

I would be concerned that he/she might be able to slither out the bottom, which is just corrugated cardboard not attached to the cage. I guess you could reinforce it somehow, maybe with masking tape, so that it does not separate.
