Very Soft Toy
Style: Hedgehog
This stuffed hedgehog is very soft and has a really nice squeaker in it. I can already tell that it will absolutely not hold up to an aggressive chewer, but it will be fun for a day or two for my pup. It would probably be way better as a giant toy for a tiny dog, but it was so cute that I couldn't resist for my husky mix.

Brindle Boxer and yellow lab, 2 different approaches
Style: Talking Babble, Size: Medium
Our Brindle Boxer absolutely loves this toy! We got one of the small babble balls from a friend and "Baron" took right to it. Very funny watching him, once he realized that when he bumped or otherwise jostled it, it would talk!
After about an hour of him tossing and "nosing" it around (not bad on carpet but on our hardwood floors, it can get a little grating), he started chewing on it. We're like, "OK, here we go, how long is this thing going to last now?". To our surprise, it's holding up pretty well. He's a chewer that can really munch down when he gets into a "groove" and it is taking a beating although it is not indestructible so keep an eye on it.
There are 2 screws that hold the door in, which is crafted very well but be sure they are always in there tight. To avoid any issues, once we replaced the batteries the 1st time, we took out the screws and glued the door in and left the screws out. By the time the batteries are dead this time, the ball will be ready to throw out for sure. Not bad for longevity IMHO. Our dogs can chew a Kong ball up in a couple days once they get a crack in it. if there's a weak point on a dog toy, our dog will find it!....:-)
Our other dog is Dusty, our yellow lab. Sweet loving dog with that "lab" mentality", all love and slobber :-)
He looks at the Babble ball with mild amusement and walks on past it. Every once in awhile, he'll pick it up but that's usually only a ploy he uses when we're petting the "other one" (A name, we're sure Dusty uses when he refers to Baron). I imagine he would actually like this toy more, had Baron not taken it and cuddled it like his own new born baby the second it hit the floor and commandeered the 2nd one just as fast!! :-)
The Small size one (A little larger than a golf ball) has ridges on it and takes a beating. Once it started looking haggard and the batteries started to die, we would put it up and only bring it out for short periods to prolong the life of it until we could find where these were sold. Baron had become "addicted to the darn thing! :-) He would whine and stare at it on the shelf for what seemed like hours until one of us would get it down and give it to him. Since the small one seemed just "bit small" for our Boxer for our tastes and surely too small for our lab, we decided to get the next size up. The Medium one has a smooth surface which also holds up very well although, that once "smooth surface", will start to resemble a Tennis ball after a while but it takes a licking and keeps on ticking!
The "Talking" is amusing for us for about the 1st hour but it is a little loud with fresh batteries and can be annoying when watching TV or talking on the phone. After about a week though, the batteries start to drain some and the volume goes down a bit. Baron will only pick it up a few times a day from there on out so when he gets in the mood, he'll toss it around for about 15 minutes then leave it alone for a while. I can work with that. :-)
All in all,
We are impressed with the quality AND the "FUN FACTOR" for both us, and our Puppies!
We're Babble ball fans for life! (Can we get a discount, if we buy them by the case? :-)

A GREAT FUN TOY FOR A FUR BABY, SMALL, MEDIUM OR LARGE.
Style: Blinky Babble, Size: Large, Style: Blinky Babble, Size: Large
I bought this for my 4 month old ShitZhu. It is the best toy I have bought for any of my 60 years of owning a dog. This little girl, Chrissy, named for my son who was 50 and passed away 10 years ago. She is the sweetest puppy I have ever had. She loves everybody, will go to anybody, child or adult, and loves other dogs, small - medium. She weighs 5 lbs now, but will grow to about 8-12 lbs. The best size for me, as I will be 86 in a few months and needed something small enough that I could handle it. My last dog at 15 I lost a year ago. It took me that long to see if I could handle a new puppy. I am doing awesome with her. It is me and her with my daughter seeing her every day on her lunch hour.
This ball is something else. She plays with it all over the house, rolls it, moves it and even picks it up with her teeth. She gets so much exercise with this ball. I just bought one for my Niece's pup Poppy when she comes over. I also bought two large ones for my Son's two Healers that love to play ball. They haven't seen them yet. One for each that they will get tomorrow. I can't say enough about this ball. It makes watching the pups play with it for entertainment so much fun. This little one has made my blood pressure gone done. I have had dogs all my life and when I lost my last one, my blood pressure went up about 4 months later. I had never had high blood pressure. Since Chrissy came into my life (2 months ago) I now have blood pressure in the 120/78 range. She will keep me young so I can life a long, healthy and happy life. My Son in Heaven is making her into a little tom boy puppy. He would love her as a girl, but he has taught her how to drink out of a dripping hose. She is so fun to watch. If you have dogs of any size, you will love getting this ball for your fur baby and watch how they play with it. This is indeed a great toy. Have a happy life with your fur babies.

Toy encourages self play and exercise. BONUS: Provides hilarious entertainment for pet owner!
Style: Animal Sounds Babble, Size: Large
My Havanese loves this toy. It keeps him occupied for long periods of time. There are so many different animal sounds...some which are a bit annoying. The good news is because there are so many different sounds, we are all spared from hearing the shrill and annoying ones repeatedly. It is a "HOOT" to watch him chase the ball around. He bats the ball back and forth between his front paws almost as if he's playing soccer. He also has two "talking" babble balls, one small and one large. Havanese are people loving people pleasers so it's not surprising he seems to like human voice phrases of Talking Babble ball.
I read many reviews on this product and the Talking Babble ball prior to purchase. Several review stated the purchasers pets had successfully chewed the ball causing the interior components to be exposed and thus caused a choking hazard. I ordered the toy anyway. My 9 month old Havanese is an active playful pup, but has barely made a scratch mark on either size of these balls. He doesn't chew on the balls he chases them. If your dog is a small breed, I do not think you need to be worried about this toy being a safety hazard.
I only gave the product 4 stars because despite my purchase of the largest size, the ball still gets caught/lost under the couch, china cabinet, TV hutch, as well as the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets toe kicks....UGH. I purchase a fantastic pet playpen when I was in the thick of house training my puppy. I've tried putting the balls in the playpen, leaving both pen doors open. Although large enough for him to roll and chase the balls...he tries to flip them over the bottom lip of the pen and out the door. He has been successful in his attempts, but he has been successful at moving the playpen at least 4-5 feet while trying. Hmmm... It's frustrating, as I have STOP my activities & work often to retrieve the balls that have rolled under furniture etc. I've tried using long strips of cardboard boxes to block various problem ball "disappearsing" spaces. Not only is the cardboard unattractive, but it seems the spaces are never ending. 😜 I have considered buying plexiglass and cutting it into the necessary lengths etc. YEPPER...TO MUCH WORK!!! So my request is: " Pet Qwerks, My dog loves your product and so do I. Please make the same toy but in a larger size so that it does get caught under the bottom of average height furnishings ( 4.5 inches in diameter) . I suggest a 5" diameter ball."

A TINY HACK = 5 STAR multisensory dog doy for older dog
Style: Talking Babble, Size: Small, Style: Talking Babble, Size: Small
WATCHED MY 13 YR DOG TURN INTO A PUPPY AGAIN! (A simple hack that made much safer from a 2 star to 5 star with some puppy love & makes a perfect all sensory toy for older dogs) Please read for a 5 min diy hack using the babble ball to make the ULTIMATE DOG TOY UNDER $15. My dog is blind in 1 eye and loosing sight in the other. He is a 13 yr old min pin. I wanted a ball he could track by sound and still play catch. I was excited when the ball came but worried about its quality . This ball would break the first time you threw it, your dogs teeth or the ball :( (internal electronics and ball shell would even Crack on a non carpeted floor). I was going to return it until i saw my dogs ears at full attention wondering what new toy he got for xmas and what kind of owner would i be to deny that face and look of interest I rarely see from him. So i SIMPLY took a tennis ball made an X cut with an exacto knife as well as a few other small X cuts so the sound is amplified (speaker very low) . The small version fits perfectly inside the tennis ball and can now be a safe indoor ball that you can roll or toss and more durable for younger dogs. It has been a hit with all the neighborhood dogs (wish I got commission lol).
NOW The ULTIMATE MULTISENSORY TOY USING THE BABBLE BALL!!
If you want 2 go the extra step (I am glad I did I have not seen my dog play like this since he was a puppy plus he is 2 small 2 enjoy winter ). I had ordered the hertz bacon scented squeak ball and it's like cat nip for dogs until they destroy it. I also had a rubber ball that looks like the ever lasting godsmacker from willy Wonka that lights up when you hit it. So I took the babble ball which btw has hilarious sounds that really make your dog's want to interact with it. I took a hospital sock with the foot grips on the outside (when rolled it adds random movment from friction as well as easy for dog to grab. I placed the tennis/babble ball first, then the light up rubber ball, followed by the hertz bacon scented ball. I tied a knot in between each ball then added another sock for protection. I left room on both ends so toy could also be used for tug of war. This has been the best gift for my aging dog- not 2 mention his younger brother a min dashound . He is getting so much exercise, especially since it is winter, he even plays tug of war with his brother where they normally get jealous over toys always causing me 2 order 2 of the same toy lol but now they take turns for their favorite new toy. I will try and include pics and a video b/c I'm sure you love your dog as much as I do and with just a bit of effort and about $8 & an old pair of socks you will never see your dog instantly act so young again. Overall by itself this toy is what you get for the price I do wish the ball was a durable plastic or some sort of rubber coating. The best example I can give of the ball it self is a light hard plastic like a cheap kids toy solid but something you would tell your kid they need 2 play with careful and just roll on the floor something a dog doesn't understand . For the price it is a good toy you can make great.
So a complex rating: 2 stars out of the box
If you view as a part 2 a toy it's 5 stars all the way. 4 stars babble/tennis ball hack. 5 stars as part of an all sensory diy dog toy under $15.
