I was looking for a toy the 'boys' could not chew up and one that would provide increased activity for all of them. BarxBuddy is that toy. After a good charge, the ball lit up, and rolled for hours, finding its way out of corners, from under furniture, and kept rolling. Long lasting charge. The boys are still trying to figure out what it is, precious pets, maybe a little lazy. The cat followed the ball around and hopefully, in time, after purchasing two of them, the furry kids will catch on to the fun.
