I think that encouraging them to peck hard egg shaped things might be counter productive. :)

similar to a dog one I had which worked great until she realised that she just had to bat it from paw to paw to get all the treats out  ::) - she was a clever and lazy dog  :lol:.

Lol Joyful!!  :lol:

I agree with the shape being a bit dodgy, but I could be over thinking things!

I have one for the rabbit which she isn't the slightest bit interested in! lol
There are loads of home made things you can do for them as toys. mealworms frozen in water in plastic cups, hanging greens from roof so that they have to jump to get them. I have just put a swing in for them too, just a branch tied to the beams with string, they still aren't sure although my little banty goes up every so often!
