(Pet Enrichment Toy) Sliding Tiles Puzzle +

thingiverse

This is a pet enrichment toy, it is intended to make the act of foraging more stimulating for your animal. This particular enrichment toy is based on those old, handheld, picture puzzles with the sliding tiles. There is no picture but there are a bunch of compartments, in which to hide food. The animal has to move sliding tiles around in order to access the food compartments beneath. This remix version has the additional challenge that the knob, on the top of each of the tiles, has to be aligned with the direction in which the tile is to be moved in order for the tile to move at all. Needless to say, this is a lot more difficult than the original puzzle so it should keep your creatures out of mischief for that much longer :) For more of my pet enrichment toys and accessories check out <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/savagerodent/collections/28819610/things">Rat Toys & Cage Accessories</a> Update: I removed the texturing from the Knobs as it didn't really serve any purpose and made it easier for the rats to prise off the knobs.
