Fun Fact About the Elephant Bush

This succulent is often mistaken for the jade plant, but it’s more lightweight and grows faster!
Cultivar History of the Elephant Bush
The Elephant Bush has a fascinating history as a vital plant in African ecosystems. Its origins trace back to arid regions of South Africa, where it’s commonly found growing on rocky hillsides and in open woodlands. Not only does it serve as a dietary staple for elephants, but it also plays a crucial role in preventing soil erosion and aiding in water retention in the regions where it grows.

Best toy my dog has had!
Style: Blinky Babble, Size: Medium
Update 11/7/19: we bought another of these today. After multiple battery replacements, ours finally died. My pup was forlorn; even though he has the original and the animal sounds balls, this is by far his favorite babble ball. I keep it stuffed inside another rubber ball, but eventually his drool rusted the metal electronic bits. Still absolutely worth it even though it's loud and makes me bonkers sometimes. 😂 This, and a new box of button batteries, have made him a happy boy again.
Original review:
I have a toy-obsessed Miniature English Bull Terrier, and he goes absolutely bonkers for this toy. In fact, we have to give it to him in short bursts or he would exhaust himself playing with it. It's by far the toy he has responded most positively to, almost too positively (he wears us and himself out).
The ball itself is red, round, hard plastic about the size of a tennis ball. Since it has batteries I wouldn't want my dog to swallow, and I have an aggressive chewer, I took a page from another reviewer and stuck it inside another (rubber) ball so that he's not chewing directly on the hard plastic. This has worked well so far, but it's definitely a toy for supervised play only. It makes a series of sounds (motorcycle, speaking, etc) and turns itself on and off when you're playing with it, so my dog will pounce on it when it starts making noises and then stalk it when it's quiet. It's very engaging for him.
I highly recommend this if you have a pup who responds strongly to squeaker toys, but if you have an aggressive chewer, consider putting it inside another ball, and definitely plan on supervising play. This is well worth the price for the amount of joy it has brought our pup.

Dog loves this toy. A lot.
Style: Animal Sounds Babble, Size: Large
Let this be said first. I HATE this toy. It's loud. It's annoying. It scares me in the middle of the night if I walk too close to wherever my prankster dog has left it hidden. Did I mention that it's loud?
Now that that's out of the way, let me tell you a few things about the ball I got for my dog for Christmas 2014. Keep in mind that I have an 80 pound energetic young counter-surfing chew-happy Rhodesian Ridgeback. And the ball I bought was a small size.
As I may have mentioned, he's a chewer. This toy broke in half today. That is, like, a record for him. He's a tube o tennis balls a week kind of guy, and this stupid little ball lasted him (barely) over a year. He just walks around with it in his mouth giving you goofy looks while the ball makes animal noises and they echo around in his skull. Occasionally he tosses it as high as he can and then chases it after it lands on the floor and rolls off (it's an old house, the floors are slightly slanted, don't judge), which is why the ball broke. He tossed it a bit to high and the seam finally gave way. I was initially concerned because of the hard plastic shell, but after a month of constant supervision I realised that he was okay with the ball and stopped watching so closely.
It has also been a source of constant amusement to him. He likes to tuck it away just off of the high traffic areas and just out of sight to his humans. Then, as his humans walk past and activate it and jump 50 feet in the air, there he his. Standing there. Wagging his tail and giving you a doggy grin. You can almost hear him laughing....
Seriously, odds are you will hate this stupid little ball. But, it will totally be cancelled out while you watch as your little buddy does goofy crap with it. Heck, mine broke his 10 minutes ago and here I am, ordering another one, knowing that in a week I'll be cursing again.
Don't let your dog play with it unattended, at least until you know whether or not they are going to try to break it into a billionty pieces and eat it. I imagine that it could break into sharp shards. For some reason though, my dog didn't try to kill this one. Hopefully you're dog will like it as much as mine does. Hopefully you won't hate it as much as I do. :)

Nice dog toy but batteries were bad
Style: Blinky Babble, Size: Small
Very cool product as we already had the blue babble one. Our puppy likes to watch it flash and make noise when she touches it. However, upon opening the item the same day we received it and removing the strip so it would turn on, it worked for less than a minute. After taking out the bottom screws, my husband saw corroded batteries. We are disappointed that the intact batteries were not good. Luckily we had ordered a 10 pack of batteries at the same time so were able to replace them and give the toy back to our puppy to play with. Shipment was fast. Item is very durable and both our dogs will have fun with it.

Dog approved!
My dogs love this. This is the 3rd time I have bought them. They are entertained for hours and keeping their teeth strong.
They pay me no attention when they have this toy. 😂
