Floating Animal Enrichment Ball: The Ultimate Solution for Animal Engagement

 

Ball with Drain Plug: The Ultimate Animal Enrichment Ball

Floating Animal Enrichment Ball

Product Overview


The Ball with Drain Plug is a unique animal enrichment ball designed to offer customisable weight and resistance, making it ideal for various levels of engagement. This innovative tool includes a durable stainless steel drain plug, allowing users to add water, sand, or both to adjust the weight and resistance based on the animal’s strength and enrichment needs.

Key Features

  • Adjustable Weight for Optimal Engagement: Customise the ball’s weight by adding water, sand, or both. The more you add, the heavier the ball becomes, creating an engaging challenge as animals push or roll it around.
  • Dynamic Movement: When filled with water, the ball rolls in straight lines and rocks as the water sloshes inside. Sand filling creates higher resistance, with dry sand for smooth rolling and wet sand for unpredictable motion as it clings to the interior.

Size and Thickness Options


The Ball comes in multiple sizes and thicknesses to cater to different animal needs:

440mm: 6mm and 8mm thick

770mm: 8mm and 10mm thick

970mm: 10mm and 15mm thick

This floating animal enrichment ball is perfect for both physical and cognitive stimulation, promoting active engagement and exercise.

Product Overview
