He’s gentle with his toys and in general doesn’t really tear them apart like my guys do. I got him the toy Christmas 2008 and the house and all the parts are still intact.

Our girls LOVE these toys, they will root all the other toys out of the basket to get to these. They are fairly aggressive chewers and the toys have held up well after months of use, I have found only a couple of holes in the bees and squirrels (nothing I couldn’t patch up myself with needle and thread). The great thing about these products is you can buy replacements/refills of the toys that go inside when they wear out. They love to pick up and shake the hive or tree trunk and try to knock the toys out. I thought after they figured out how to get the toys out they would be bored with it , nope they still love them. All and all I think it is great toy, I agree supervised play with it just to be safe – the toys that go inside are on the small side.

@Condo blues, that’s a good idea to add some treats to the inside of the toy. I also picked up the squirrel and tree stump, the cube with the balls, and the birds in a tree (most were for gifts). I’ll try to get some more pictures of the dogs playing with the toys. Derby’s mastered removing the gingerbread man from the house.

At first he didn’t get that he was suppoed to pull the squirrels from the stump but then again, he’s a rescue who didn’t exactly what toys were for so we had to start at Square 1: This is a toy. Please chew it and not your foot please.

Eventually, he got the message that he should pull the squirrels from the stump but only after I put some good and smelly treats in the stump and half plugged the holes with the squirrels.

@Rissa, I’m glad George likes his litter treehouse with the birds. Take some pictures like the one of Ralphie and the Gingerbread house and I’ll post it to the website.

At first he tried to take the roof off but then we showed him how to get the birds out through the holes.
