Outward Hound hide a squirrel toy: on sale for 20 percent off.

Slate has relationships with various online retailers. The Hide a Squirrel Toy from Outward Hound combines the appeal of a plush toy with a puzzle, featuring a tree trunk base with strategically placed holes encasing little squeaky squirrels. What the experts say: Amy Roberts, writing for Wirecutter, says that her Chihuahua-poodle mix “typically has trouble paying attention to squeaky toys for more than a few minutes at a time, but the more challenging setup of three squeaky squirrels in a tree-trunk-shaped pouch will keep him going for hours. He fishes squirrels out, then runs around like crazy with whichever one is left in his mouth last.” What the people say: A less messy opportunity for mayhem. The Outward Hound Hide a Squirrel Toy is now $10, or 20 percent off the regular price.
