Tasty Teddy Thursday
The Treat: Loofah Teddy Bear
Price: £1.50 from Pets At Home (Also available, Woodlands Loofah Core Chews – £1.50 for 3)
Appearance: Attractive colours and the hoomans liked how they could feel and touch it to decide whether it was something whee would like
Initial thoughts from the hooman: Though they loved the loofah core chews they seem pretty frightened of this and don’t want to approach it. After some lap time with the toy they were much more relaxed around it but the size was an issue for them as, unlike the core chews, they couldn’t carry it around with them.
Thoughts from us piggies: Though it was pretty scary at first and whee were hiding from it whee realised it was pretty fun to chew on and throw around. It was a bit heavy from Noah and Nacho to lift and Basil struggled too, Buddy was the only one who could toss it around.
Pros: Cute, fun, easy to find when you want to clean out the cage, lots to chew, destructor-pig proof (Basil still hasn’t murdered his, whee are starting to think he is losing his touch!)
Cons: Whee can’t lift it, whee can’t throw it easily, it’s too big to fit in the pigloos, it gets covered in hay and poop really easily which means it probably won’t last as long as the loofah chews which easily brushed off.
Overall rating: 8/10 – If it weren’t for the size and weight of it, it would be the perfect toy. If you are looking for loofah chew toys for your piggies whee would recommend the core chews as the teddies may be more suited to bigger animals like rabbits.

Hutch A Good Life 
A Noah pic!!! Hi baby dude!!! Hey Nacho!!! It might work better if you hung them up somehow, run a tapestry needle full of doubled-up sisal and tie them up. Not so much fun for tossing, but will keep cleaner to be sure.
Hehehe yep a Noah pigture, he’s a little shy because he’s new but he’s settling in really well. He particularly likes have a run around on the floor and can be really funny (and naughty, whee suspect Nacho is leading him astray!). Maybe whee will get the hooman to film it so you can all see a bit more of him!
Happy Thursday
Buddy

Hmm…well, it’s fun to see some NEW stuff but “new” can equal “scary” sometimes at first…..perhaps it was just a matter of getting used to it????
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Maybe, whee think it is a bit big which is why it was so scary. If Mummy lies it down flat then whee aren’t as scared of it.

Usually a toy shouldn’t be the same size as the critter playing with it. So, yeah, this makes sense. If Mom ever got me a toy as big as me, I would hide behind the big chair and never come out.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
It is pretty scary when something is so big. The hooman says it’s to share but whee aren’t too keen!
xxxx
Goodness that is a sizeable toy! I am glad you had some fun but yes I can imagine it being a bit scary 🙂 HUgs Fozziemum xxxx
It is just a bit to big, otherwise whee have great fun playing with loofah toys!
Have a great Thursday
xxxx
Have a great Thursday yourselves too 🙂 yes more sizeable for you would be better 🙂 🙂 XXX
Wow that is big indeed. Mind you more to chew on. Have a tremendous Thursday.
Best wishes Molly
The amount to chew on is great, Whee are still going!

Whee can’t give Kismet toys that are big. She ruins them with her parrot poop before anything else happens with them.
Hehehe. Whee poop a lot, but not that much!
xxxx
I like your new Teddy! If Basil needs help with the demolition, I’m ready to help out :o)
Basil is usually very good at destroying things but this one might be beyond him!
xxxx
guys…..can yur mum cut it in two 4 different pieces ore will it ruin de loofah ?
It would probably ruin the loofah and make it easier for destructor piggy to be destructive!
xxxx
It seems like kind of an odd toy for piggies…
It’s something whee love when it’s smaller but this is definitely a little on the big side!
xxxx
These are dang cute. Could kitties use them? Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
From a little google search whee found out that kitties are allowed loofah toys and there are lots made specially for them so whee are sure there are some out there for you kitty cats.
xxxx
Well shoot guys ~ I’ll take a try at it!! BOL I thinks it will fit in my AireJaws just fine!! I could tear it up into piggie size pieces for ya!!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥

Great review Guys,hmmm might have to get mummy to look in to this one,xx Speedy
Whee think the teddy might be just the right size for you!
xxxx
Maybe we should get one!
It might be worth a try if you need a nom!
xxxx
it has a weird shape!
It’s a teddy!
xxxx
it is a guinea teddy!!
If you don’t want it …I’ll take it!.hee hee
I would like to shred it and my sister would like to bury it.
Wyatt
Hmmm whee are trying to shred it but it’s being very difficult about it!

Bella and DiDi: If you can’t pick it up and throw it than it deserves a smaller rating. Our humans use loofa in the shower but we never thought of it as a toy. We’ll have to give it a try.
Whee didn’t know loofahs were pet safe until our hooman saw these toys in the pet shop!
