Not sure If I have mentioned this show before, I used to watch it when I was a kid, but I suspect it is part of the reason I have a soft spot for furry rodents. Has Hamsters Rats and Guinea Pigs as well as other critters.

This episode is called "A Ride in Guineas Jeep"

Oh, sorry that the above video is only tangential to the conversation! Glad you brought back the gps!

Is anyone familiar with the snuffle mats made for dogs? Well, I made a mini size for Lacey and she seems to enjoy it. Here’s a link to a video: https://www.instagram.com/p/B517e3uBoGr ... jpfl7cnefc

That is so cute! I copied the share link so it would display here.

I bet she loves searching for food!

Thanks for displaying the video, Lynx! Lacey also likes to sleep on her snuffle mat so I’m thinking of making a larger one. After reading about using chenille bath mats in the cages, I wonder if something like this would also work for cage liners. Like I need an excuse to buy more fleece!

I made a larger one, about 2' x 3' for our dog. It has 3 different sections with one section made like this, another with overlapping strips like shingles, and one with a row of triangles sewn down the middle to make little pockets. He has to check it over every time he walks by just in case treats show up.

I really like the whole concept. Is there any risk of a guinea pig chewing on the fleece strips?

Wish someone here would be interested in making and selling them (hint hint).

My guinea pig isn't a chewer so I haven't had any issues with her chewing fleece, plastic, bars on the cage, or anything like that. Making them to sell, well I've had a few people say that this would be a good craft fair item since no one else is making them. I don't know if I want to start that.
