Good day everyone! I've been doing sooooo much internet surfing, message board reading, email list reading, etc. that I cannot remember the EXACT source, but I read somewhere you could make a dig box using white millet because the ferts won't eat it. (I can't believe how many laaaaaate nights I've been having doing all this reading, lol!!!) Well, my kids & I got a small, square, rubbermaid box & put a 5 lb bag of millet in along with a couple balls & plastic baby toys (my 1 yr doesn't mind, lol!) & Roscoe LOVES it! Well, we thought this was terrific, but today, we got a newer idea...ya know those plastic tubs you can find at Walmart or Kmart like for $3.97 or $4.97 or so? They usually have rope handles on them? You can throw sports balls in them, use them as a cooler, toy storage...know what I mean? Well, we had one in our basement filled with Discovery Zone (remember them?) plastic balls. So my kids & I brought it up & Roscoe enjoyed it but we ended up taking the balls out & putting the millet in instead (along w/baby toys)....Well! Roscoe is in heaven! Using this tub provides a circle for him to go round & round & round in & also provides more DEPTH for him to dig in. The only downfall is that because the sides are so high, right now we have to put him in & take him out...he cannot do it himself because the sides are too slippery. The girl I'm babysitting suggested cutting a hole/door on one side right about in the middle so he can go in & out himself. I suppose you could also attach a dryer vent tunnel or something similar too??? We put the DZ balls in a rectangular-shape laundry basket & Roscoe loves that too...he can go in & out of that himself! Anyway, my kids & I have been having a wonderful time laughing our *you know whats* off at Roscoe & his digging/ball rolling antics. I just wanted to share our terrific morning with all of you & hope if you try it you & your ferts will have as good of a time as we are! HAVE A GREAT DAY!
