How hard are these pieces supposed to be? I received them today and they require crazy amounts of force to break up into small pieces!

I have not had a problem with breaking them up..some are very large but I have not run across very many thick ones that need breaking...luck of the draw? I would use a tenderizing hammer to break them up. But all in all the dogs really love them. Good luck

Pieces come in different sizes - some of the thicker ones are harder to break apart - but I have had no problems with that - and my dog is able to break them up when she eats them. If is really hard - take a small hammer in the bag to break up the pieces for your dog. Hope that helps.

Thanks for answering this question; you beat me to it! These used to break up easily, but the manufacturing process must have changed. The 'sheets' in the last 2 bags I purchased were almost impossible to crack. I was hoping the problem had been fixed, but it looks like it hasn't. Dang!

I found them easy to snap at the scored lines. They are crisp and thin in most places. Some large pieces are somewhat thicker at one end because they are dried slices of real liver. It would be difficult to break along all of the score lines into little squares, but pretty easy to snap them into pieces that are a couple of squares in size.

I haven't really had a problem breaking them. My dog is a Beagle and likes to just chew on the bigger pieces. Good luck

I had to "crack" them by hitting them on the counter. It reminded me of a very hard Toffee. I didn't give it to my smaller dogs for fear they would cut their gums or tongue trying to eat it. My Pitty girl had no problems and loved it!! I hope it helps.

They are all tiny pieces. Not for young ones who puts toys in their mouths, nose or ears. My son has been playing with these since he was three, but we don't have any younger ones to worry about if the pieces are left out.

I've never tried to break them in half but it would be hard to do without cutting them with a knife--even then it might be hard. They're pretty solid but now that I've reviewed other people's answers, I guess it can be done. I'm glad to learn it!

These are more difficult to break than the chewable ones. I'm not sure you would be able to 1/4 them. Hope that helps.

I have taken mine apart a lot during the set up process. I misplaced the directions and put it together and took it apart around 3 times until I got it right. It takes a bit of strength to pull the pieces back apart but other than that its awesome!

Not easy....usually with a hacksaw or an axe. I just usually cut them in half, not small pieces...

They are not sturdy enough. My then three year old broke every piece at least twice ( we glued them several times). I recommend getting ones that are solid pieces like plan toys furniture.

They aren't super hard, I bend them in half to break them. I have a 10 year old Chihuahua, and 2 Chihuahua mixes and they get them every morning. They love them. I hope that helps.

Wow. I have never had any trouble separating the units. Is there any chance that someone glued the two pieces together? (Only answer I can think of)

They're hard but soft enough to break in half with your hand, and there is a little endend that allows you to break it perfectly in half. I would say they are about the size of a penny or nickel.

They aren't impossible to take apart again if you connect them gently. But it took awhile to put it together. You're probably better off with collapsible cubes.

Well... they are pretty sturdy but..... also a little fragile. I bought them for my 3 yo girl who played appropriately with them and my 2 year old son slowly crushed and broke off pieces over time.

They seem sturdy from what I can tell. I'd still recommend not stepping on them or putting pressure on them, as it is somewhat flat and "disc" shaped, so it could potentially break pretty easy in that regard.

The pieces are not designed to come apart. However, when I was putting mine together I had to do this as well. I used a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry the snaps apart; hopefully this works for you as well. Good luck!

Hi Charles, I am not very good at this type of stuff, but they are about the size of an average chess piece and have a little weight behind them - they are not light. We are happy with them. I did order another set of medieval pieces that we returned very disappointed prior to this set. We have younger kids and they did break a piece early on by being too rough, but the company sent us one immediately at no charge. Not sure if that is always their policy, but a very good experience. ~l

We had the same problem! My husband ended up popping them out with a hard kick. They didn't break but I think we were lucky!

I had the same problem. You can either tap them in with a rubber mallet or place a block of wood on them and pound them in with a regular hammer. You will hear it snap in place when it's in all the way.
