Bosco and Lila both love a puzzle that makes treats a brain game, not a 10-second snack. This is the one I reach for on busy days when they need something to think about.
Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Dog Brick Puzzle
Fill it, freeze it and let Bosco and Lila work at it. This is durable enrichment for busy days when I need them happily occupied indoors.
Toppl® Treat Toy | Viral Puzzle Enrichment Treat Dispenser
A tough treat stuffer that stands up to strong chewers better than most. Lila works at this one for ages, and it still looks brand new.
Tux® Treat Toy | Durable Enrichment Toys for Dogs
This one holds a chew stick so paws do not have to, which feels safer and makes chew time last so much longer for Bosco.
West Paw Qwizl - Puzzle & Treat Toy
Sniffing and foraging tires Bosco and Lila out in a calm way, perfect for cold Connecticut days when we are stuck inside.
Snuffle Mat for Dogs
Fetch on repeat for high-energy Lila, with distance settings so I can keep it short in the yard or send it flying on open days.
PetSafe Automatic Dog Ball Launcher
The classic fetch upgrade. Farther throws for Lila, and no slobbery hands for me when we play in the yard.
Chuckit!, Dog Ball Launcher, 26 inch, for Large 3 inch Balls
Gift-boxed holiday treats that look as good as they taste to Bosco and Lila. This is the stocking stuffer I would pick for them.

Calming support for holiday visitors, travel and fireworks nights, when Bosco and Lila need a little extra help settling.

Chickens
Protein treats our hens go crazy for. I shake the bag and they come running, great for training and taming, even for Kevin.
Happy Hen Treats Mealworm Frenzy Chicken Treats
Bulk mealworms work out cheaper for a whole flock all winter, and our hens come running the second they hear the bag.
Flock Fest Dried Mealworms 5 lb Bag Poultry Treats
Trusted farm brand in a resealable bag, so it is an easy daily treat I can grab on my way out to the coop.
MANNA PRO Farmhouse Favorites Mealworms Chicken Treats 5 Lb
A variety treat mix to break up winter coop boredom, something different from plain mealworms for the flock.
MANNA PRO Farmhouse Favorites Beetle Bliss Chicken
A rolling treat ball turns snack time into coop enrichment, and the hens have to work a little for every bite.

Yes, hens really use it. Simple coop enrichment, and I love watching our girls hop on for a swing.
Backyard Chicken Swing
A sturdy wooden swing perch for roosting and play, a sweet little addition to the coop for the flock.
Wooden Chicken Roosting Perch Swing
Hands-free egg collecting with no cracked eggs in hoodie pockets. I wish I had bought this years ago.

A bigger feeder and waterer means fewer refills in cold weather, which matters on freezing Connecticut mornings.
Zylina Chicken Waterer 3.7 Gallon and Feeder 26 lbs
Rabbits
A rolling hay toy makes Bambi and Coco style foraging last longer, and it keeps the hay where it belongs.
Bunny Hay Roller: Wooden Foraging Toy, Rabbit Enrichment
