The Taper Ball is a robust resistance enrichment ball designed to provide animals with stimulating exercise and play. Manufactured in Australia from heavy-duty polyethylene (PE), this tapered ball encourages dynamic movement and physical engagement. Its unique shape creates resistance when pushed, challenging animals like lions and tigers to work against it, promoting natural behaviours and physical fitness.
Resistance Functionality for Active Engagement The Taper Ball’s tapered design delivers resistance as animals push, roll, or nudge it, adding an extra challenge to playtime. This functionality promotes physical activity and keeps animals engaged, as they instinctively respond to the ball’s movement, creating a unique, enriching experience. Ideal for large animals, this toy “fights back” to increase interaction and stimulate instinctual behaviours.
Durable Construction with Versatile Attachment Options Built to endure tough play, the Taper Ball can be customised for versatile interaction:
Stainless Steel Eyebolt: Attach additional enrichment items to the top of the Taper Ball, adding variety and enhancing engagement.
Heavy Duty Fire Hose Attachment: This 1-meter-long hose, with four layers of durable material, connects via the eyebolt for interactive play.
Concrete Ballast: A ballast option keeps the Taper Ball steady and offers additional resistance for extra engagement. Each attachment is available for an additional fee, allowing caretakers to tailor the Taper Ball to meet animal needs.
Size and Thickness Options The Taper Ball comes in three sizes for different levels of play intensity and durability:
10mm Thick: 440mm diameter at the top, 770mm at the bottom
