You can put treats in the top opening, on the sides or all compartments as well, depending on how much challenge you want for your cat. To increase the difficulty level, you can place a piece of paper towel in one of the holes of both top and bottom so that treats fall out only from one opening per side. As your cat practices, it will get the hang of how to spin the disk to make it release the treats. Nina Ottosson Cat Treat Maze is made with durable no toxic and dishwasher safe plastic. As a safety measure, the toy does not have any sharp edges.

The difficulty level of the Nina Ottosson Maze is Medium, so you may want to get this toy if your cat has previous experience using other less challenging toys. Some cats may not need to have experience with other toys and start playing right away with this unit, but this is most likely if your feline friend is very determined to get treats or kibble from the toy. This is something you won’t know until you get the Nina Ottoson Maze.
