The kongs work well with my big dogs too,
the only thing they haven't destroyed.
I would like to caution those who buy the very
small kongs that are sold for ferrets- the very
top of the kong has a little rim of rubber that
is from the mold they use to make the kongs
( I am guessing) It is this little lip, or whatever you
want to call it, that a ferret can chew off and get
a blockage. But if you file this lip off it will
be a safe toy.
