What can I say? Silk defiantly approves!
As soon as I saw this item due to come on the market I was interested, Silk doesn't like many treats but she does like carrots (once I taught her she could eat them by painstakingly cutting them into tiny pieces and putting them in her feed at first) so I figured this would defiantly keep her entertained. I sorted her stable excitedly hanging her carrot ball up and popped some carrots in, I put it on a rope as she already has a ball toy for the floor, so I figured I'd keep this different (and clean).
On the first day, she didn't seem that interested but she did try and take a couple of nibbles as she investigated it. I realised that she was being her usual silly self as the other mares where being brought in going back and forth to the door. But the next morning she'd certainly had a good go at getting the carrots out of the ball.
After that, it's been the first thing she goes to as she enters her stable. She sometimes manages to pull the whole carrot out, sometimes there are bits of carrot still in the ball but she plays with it for ages trying to get her tasty treats. I'm going to try some parsnips to see if she will like those too.
I give this carrot ball an extra plus because as a hanging toy it's the only one I've actually left up! I can't count how many times with other hanging toys/treat holders I've pulled them down within the first day or two because I keep whacking my head on it when mucking out. Well, worry not (even when Evie is on my back in her carrier I don't worry about hitting it as it's nice and soft. Not that I advise you use it as a toy for yourself to headbutt but it's definitely a bonus!
