This interactive puzzle toy provides a rewarding challenge by requiring your cat to manipulate a wobbling base to release treats or kibble, ensuring they stay physically and mentally engaged.

FAQs
Is the Rocking Maze safe for all cat breeds?
Yes, it is suitable for most cats, though its effectiveness may depend on your cat's individual curiosity and food motivation.
Can I use wet food in the maze?
No, this toy is designed specifically for dry kibble or hard treats. Wet food will be difficult to clean and may harbor bacteria.
How often should I clean the toy?
Depending on usage, a weekly cleaning is recommended to prevent food dust buildup and maintain hygiene.
Does it require batteries?
No, the toy is entirely mechanical and relies on the cat's physical interaction to wobble and dispense treats.
What is the diameter of the unit?
The Trixie Rocking Maze has a diameter of 18 cm, making it a stable size for most adult cats.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
Yes, but you must remove the inner maze component prior to placing the outer shell in the dishwasher.
Troubleshooting
My cat ignores the toy.
Start with more aromatic treats to pique their interest and ensure the treats are small enough to fall through the inner maze easily.
The toy is sliding across the floor.
Ensure the rubberized bottom is clean and free of dust, as debris can reduce the effectiveness of the anti-slip coating.
The inner part is stuck.
Gently soak the device in warm soapy water to loosen any dried treat residue, then twist the inner component to release it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the maze on a flat surface and load it with dry kibble or small treats. If the unit becomes soiled, it is dishwasher safe, but you must remove the inner maze component first to ensure thorough cleaning. Avoid using boiling water or harsh chemicals on the plastic parts to maintain structural integrity. For best results, place the maze in a location where your cat feels secure and free to explore at their own pace without interference from other household pets.
