Great bounce, chewable & bite-able, The beasts like the
minty flavor. They love to fetch them and played with them
on their own. Emrys especially acted as if the Orbee Ball
were tempting her and teasing her to bite it. See
Orbee Toy Test Photos.
Beast Review:
reviewed
December, 2003
Great bounce, chewable & bite-able, the small is the
same size as a raquetball but easier to pick up with their
mouths. The medium is too big to fit in their mouths but great
for chewing. It is a bit heavier than the small but Emrys
carries it around in her mouth with no problem. Another plus
is the Orbee material doesn't pick up much floor-lint unlike
the raquetballs.

Durability:
The Beasts have not been able to put a dent in the balls.
I cut off the bungee cords after 5 minutes - they are made
of thread covered rubber and began to get torn up right away.
Extra points to Planet Dog for letting buyers know in the
catalog that the bungees are not dog-proof. The Beasts really
enjoyed tugging & chewing on them & were disappointed
when the cords disappeared - but Bostons will be Bostons and
they had to go.
Lifespan:
Still counting from December 21st 2003
Cost vs. Durability:
If they last as long as I think they are going to last these
balls will be well worth the purchase price. They cost as
much as a premium plush squeeky toy and we all know how quickly
those cute-fuzzies are demolished!
Safety:
Safe if used without the bungee. If you get the bungee for
fun - just supervise all play with the Orbee.
