I was surprised that my Mini Lop didn't like this toy (and a little bummed since it was an expensive little ball!) He likes to nudge things and since this is round, when he nudges it it doesn't roll away so he can run after it. He is intrigued by the large walnut thing in the middle that makes a sound when you shake it, but since he can't roll it, he can't make it make the sounds. I've seen him try playing with it a couple of times but overall I don't think this was a good buy for him.
