Product Information
Full details
The TRIXIE Hedgehog Ball set is designed for cat owners looking to stimulate their feline's predatory instincts through interactive play. These seven lightweight, spiky vinyl balls are perfect for batting and chasing across hard surfaces, helping to keep active cats engaged and entertained. While they are highly effective for solo play, the small 3 cm size means they can easily roll under furniture, requiring occasional retrieval by the owner.

FAQs
Are these balls safe for kittens?
Yes, their small size and lightweight construction make them generally suitable for kittens, but always supervise play to ensure they do not attempt to chew or swallow small pieces.
Can these be used for dogs?
These are specifically designed for cats. Dogs may easily puncture or swallow these small 3 cm balls, so they are not recommended for canine use.
Do these contain catnip?
No, these balls do not contain catnip or other scents; they rely on their shape and texture to stimulate play.
How do I clean them?
Simply wash them with warm water and a small amount of mild, pet-safe dish soap, then air dry completely before giving them back to your cat.
What are they made of?
They are manufactured from high-quality, non-toxic vinyl rubber, which is durable yet safe for feline play.
Are they noisy when they hit the floor?
Because they are made of vinyl, they produce a very soft, subtle sound when batting against hard floors, making them ideal for quiet play.
Troubleshooting
The ball is stuck under furniture
Use a long reaching tool or broom handle to gently sweep the ball out from under sofas or cabinets.
My cat has lost interest
Rotate the toys by only providing one or two at a time, or try combining play with a laser pointer or treat hunt to re-ignite interest.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for these toys; simply remove a ball from the included plastic storage drum and it is ready for play. These are designed specifically for cats and are safe for indoor use. To maintain the hygiene of the toys, wipe them down periodically with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe soap if they collect dust or pet hair. Always inspect the balls before each play session for signs of excessive wear or damage. If a ball becomes punctured or heavily chewed, it is recommended to discard it to prevent any potential choking hazards.
