puzzle feeder
Treat-dispensing challenge
A puzzle feeder is a container that dispenses food only when an animal manipulates it correctly—pushing, rolling, or solving some mechanism to access the contents.
Used primarily for pets and zoo animals, puzzle feeders slow eating, reduce boredom, and provide mental stimulation: The dog's puzzle feeder kept him occupied for an hour.
