Food Enrichment Quick Tips
Store filled Toppls or Kongs in a silicone muffin tray to avoid a mess in the freezer.
If using lick mats, you can store them in a stack by layering them with silicone mats (cut to size) or parchment paper.
Use mini-bell peppers and peanut butter to plug the Toppl hole.
Use thick sliced cucumbers to plug the Kong hole.
If mixing all ingredients together, it may be helpful to transfer the mixture to a pastry bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped and pipe the mixture into the toy.
