... who contacted us a few weeks ago and asked if we'd like to try some of their supurr products and when we saw what they had on their website, we were so excited and even more so when a huge box arrived at BBHQ. 

Today is the second review of three, as we got three different products to test, try and use here at BBHQ - how exciting, epically exciting!!! And to see our furst review, just in case mew missed it - click here.



So let's show mew what was in the box.

Now it may only be a small box, but it really contains so much fun!

Smooch was first on the scene after the unboxing and sat staring, not quite sure what to make of it!

"Can mew eat it?" he asked.

"Er... NO!" I replied. "It'd be a bit chewy!!!" MOL MOL


Playtime at BBHQ 

We've got a fun video for mew to watch again, so hit the play button sit back, relax and enjoy!


 or click here to watch direct on YouTube.

It took about five minutes to set up, and then all mew need to do is push the button on the birdies back to start the fun. If mew want a 10-minute session hold the 'on' the button for 1 second and for all-day entertainment with the motion sensor on, hold the button for 4 seconds



Our closing thoughts

The Peek-a-Bird™ Electronic Cat Toy is a really fun and nifty toy, definitely a great buy especially if your staff is out all day or for extended periods of time.

Parsley loved it the minute it went on the floor, though Smooch took a while to warm up it. Melvyn was quite unsure to start with but we think it was the noise it makes as the little motor moves the feather tickler side to side, but he soon got with the programme! MOL

They were very curious 

Not all B Team memfurs are the same; some dive straight into the fun, others are a little more cautious, there are those that are supurr cautious and then there are those that are not bothered at all, not mentioning any names, Pandora - we can see mew sitting in the catservatory watching effurything. [Pandora isn't interested in toys at all - she's a bit of bahumbug kinda kitty!]

The B Team Boys have really been enjoying the Peek-a-Bird toy, and we really like how it can be set for a short 10-minute session or for all-day play, so if mew're feeling really energetic mew can keep coming back and setting off the motion sensor for more entertainment which is especially great when mew are home alone and need some entertainment to fill in the time till your staff returns and gives mew treats! MOL  

We've had to monitor Parsley with it as he likes to drag it around the kitchen with the tickler - OOPS! And talking about ticklers - it's very well built, and mew get an extra feather tickler just in case the original one gets a bit icky or shredded over time. Also, it doesn't come with batteries, so mew'll need to have 3 x AA's to paw before mew can begin.

In summary

A TOP TOY FOR CATS!

We think it's epic!


We would like to say a special thanks to the pawesome peeps at Petsafe fur giving us the opportunity to try out their amazing Peek-a-Bird™ Electronic Cat Toy

What's In The Box on BBHQ Spotlight Review Featuring HEXBUG ~ Robotic Cat Toys

Welcome to

What's In The Box on BBHQ Spotlight Review @BionicBasil®

Wunderpurr greetings fabulous furriends

And welcome to another fab week on the blog

Today we're sharing one of our *sponsored posts with mew from the fabulous peeps at..


... who contacted us a few of weeks ago and asked if we'd like to try their robotic interactive toys.

OMC, of course we would!  



What's in the Box: 

BBHQ Spotlight Review @BionicBasil® HEXBUG Robotic Toys ~ Melvyn
Melvyn was furst on the scene to investigate

This is what HEXBUG has to say about their toys:

HEXBUG, a leader in robotic toys, has the perfect items to keep your cat on their toes with some highly interactive and engaging cat toys. We are sure to keep your pet busy for hours chasing, clawing and capturing with these three exciting HEXBUG products!
  • HEXBUG nano Robotic Cat Toy
The HEXBUG nano Robotic Cat Toy can navigate around objects, find its way out of corners and flip over from its back to its feet in an attempt to escape its captor!

We got one of these to try
BBHQ Spotlight Review @BionicBasil® HEXBUG Robotic Toys ~ Nano

  • HEXBUG Mouse Robotic Cat Toy
Have you seen the HEXBUG Mouse Robotic Cat Toy yet? This furry feline friend is equipped with cute, playful pink ears and whiskers. When turned on, its soft rubber tail wiggles back and forth as it scampers and scurries along, calling the attention of nearby cats.

And we got one of these too.

  • HEXBUG Remote Control Mouse Cat Toy
Similar, but slightly techier is the HEXBUG Remote Control Mouse! This interactive smart toy comes with a remote control so that you can make it start, pause and stop on command. When turned on, the mouse’s soft rubber tail wiggles back and forth as it scampers and scurries along, calling the attention of nearby cats, just like a real mouse. [We didn't get to try this one]


Playtime at BBHQ:

Now we must admit before we begin we did have a little pre-play time with the toys, to get the feel of things and to see who was interested in them, and sadly the Nano got stuck under the fridge, but prior to that Melvyn was loving it, and until Dad gets home tonight, Nano will have to stay there ~ OOPS! MOL

Anyhoo, the Nano was furry funny, it does exactly what it said on the packaging - see above - and Melvyn was transfixed following it all around the kitchen, and the P.A. was laughing so much she didn't see it take a sneaky and rather evasive detour under the fridge until it was too late.

BBHQ Spotlight Review @BionicBasil® HEXBUG Robotic Toys ~ Melvyn Playtime
But then Melvyn got to chase the mouse all around the kitchen, so all was not lost and he loved that as much as the Nano. We'll share some of the funny videos of The B Team playing with HEXBUG toys this week on our instagram account, so if mew want to see cheeky Melvyn pop to instagram and follow us, so mew don't miss anything.



Our closing thoughts:

These toys do not wurk on carpet or rugs, mew do need a hard floor. We also found that mew need to keep an eye on them as they can get stuck under things - NOTE TO SELF: Don't let Nano get near the fridge once it is released.

But that aside, these little toys are really fun and add a whole new dimension and feel to playtime, which we think is epic fur feline enrichment, especially those kitty's that are primarily indoor cats, as we do get bored with things and we do need our senses stimulating.

**A BBHQ TOP TIP FUR PLAYTIME**

We rotate toys our weekly so it keeps things fresh and exciting.

Try rotating your toys on a weekly basis, and see how much more fun mew have!

In summary, we think that these would make a fun addition to any cats toy box, as long as mew have a hard floors.

HEXBUG IS A TOP TOY! 


We would like to say a special thanks to the pawesome peeps at HEXBUG fur giving us the oppurrtunity to chase their robotic toys around the kitchen~ THANK MEW FURRY MUCH!
