Does anyone know of a website that I can order a Buster Cube online?! I have looked at every pet store in my area and no where local sells them. Id really like to order one for the new guy. Also if you guys know of any other brain stimulating toys/activities I could do with him the next couple days Id love to hear them too!!

I did find plenty of places online that sells it. But beware! the dog needs space to push the buster cube around to get the treats.. it's also hard plastic and VERY noisy!

I got ours from sitstay.com, but ended up having to give it away shortly after because we have hardwood floors and it is noisy! Its great if you can let him play with it outside, not so great on hardwood floors because instead of flipping it around to get treats out it just slides mostly.

Personally I hate the buster cube. I gave it to my mom. It is obnoxious. Good though for her dog for when my mom goes to work for day. Rocky got too obsessed with it and it would get so slobbery and get stuck under furniture then he would claw at the furniture to try to get the thing out. But it does work well for my moms dog. she loves that thing and keeps it in the dining room where it is unable to get stuck under furniture. My house is not set up that way that I can keep it contained to an area where it wont get stuck. Rockys mind toy is cheap and disposable, however does not last long and I have to stand there while he plays with a soda or water bottle. The goal is he gets cap and ring off he spits them to the side and licks the leftover drops of left liquid. If it is something that stains I just take bottle and drip in his bowl for licks. But this we have to really be careful and watch like a hawk. Of course a kong stuffed with pb and bananas and biscuits then frozen is also a good one to keep pup occupied. Having at least 2 is a good idea.

yeah palace has one of these it is noisy we have concrete floors and she runs and chases it and it slides and smashes into the walls sometimes since it won't flip she decides to just try and bite it it is very loud but sort of funny a stuffed kong is for sure a quieter option...just don't let them chew/lick a red one on your white carpet/rug

Ok.... Hmmm.... Going to have to think the buster cube over then.
I could gate off the bathroom and hallway and let him go at it there...Its linoleum flooring (So it would be loud) there but nothing to get stuck on or I could put him in the extra bedroom with it (Which is carpet) but there is furniture to get stuck on. :/ Hmmm Im going to Petsmart tomorrow...Maybe we will look around a little more.
I do have a Kong and am going to use that but Id really like to have a couple different things for him.

Ok...And the Wobbler is the ruber like original Kongs?!
I think Im going to get the Wobbler and try the Buster Cube on carpet and see what happens...if worst comes to worst I can donate it to the humane society.

I got the buster cube at petsmart. My moms dining room is also concrete and it does make alot of noise but I give her the buster cube when I am going out so I dont have to listen to it.

Jackie eats at least 3 meals a week from a buster cube. YEs we have hardwood floors and yes it is super loud, but it doesn't take her long to get the food out.
On the hardwoods she hikes it like a football, goes flying across the floor and slams into the ways and turns over.
all in all the noise is wroth it. she loves it.
They used to make one the was a ball that would roll, but i can't find that one anywhere anymore.
