Looking for a rubber chicken that wouldn't hurt someone if thrown on stage. Thoughts? Can this take some abuse?

The rubber is rather soft and pliable. Can't comment as to this rubber not hurting someone if hit in eye or something strange happens, but the rubber chicken shouldn't be damaged if thrown.

The body of the chicken is pretty rigid - I don't think you'd be able to bend and unbend multiple times. My kid (5 yrs) says it bends but I can't physically find it at the moment to confirm.

It is pretty tough. I use it with boxing dummy. You should look for rubber. This is hard plastic. I would hit back of you hit me with this. Ha.

I would be hesitant and I'll tell you why. The base and scratching posts are very solid - no complaints about that. However, the U-shaped platform at the top and the lower platform that curves upward, are not nearly as solid as the rest of the piece and sure enough, those are the areas where a cat would typically sit. The U shaped platform at the top is OK, but the lower platform is very weak in my opinion. (And I'm not really sure what purpose the upward curving of the lower platform serves anyway - my cats have never scractched on the outside of that section.) If your cat doesn't put any weight on that area, it might be ok. BUT, if your 20# cat puts weight on it, I think it might break pretty quickly. I bought this for 5 foster cats - none of whom are over 8#. The smallest kitten who is about 4# jumps on the top of that lower curved platform and the entire thing shakes. I've had it for about 10 weeks and nothing is broken so far (except the toy). One other FYI that comes to mind - the removable "cushion" is just 2 pieces of plush fabric sewn together - there is no cushioning inside. Whatever you decide, I hope you find one that works great for you and your kitty!

If a rabbit wanted something on the other side of this stuff, they'd be through it in seconds. If your main concern is keeping rabbits at bay, you really need to go with something metal (chicken wire, etc.).

It would hold the weight easy, I just not to sure on it being too tear proof, I was able to rip it apart after making a small slice in it with a little effort, I would look for something that is tear proof

I think it would be tight quarters. I have a single silkie chicken in ours (she was being bullied). She is okay to be in there during the day without being let out, but I'm not comfortable with it every single day. When we get her a friend, they will fit fine for sleeping and the occasional day or two that they don't get out, but they will need out most every day. There would be no room for a single bunny to really run and do happy jumps/kicks in this one, but it would be okay for night/occasional day I think. You'd definitely want to use some hardware cloth on the underside or something so they can't dig out. The bottom is not covered. I think it would be tight quarters.

Because of the chicken based content I would not trust it. You may be better off just picking up some of those small single serving dog food containers that have just enough for a single serving of a small dog; larger dog? give them two, etc.

i haven't gotten my older birds or any others to catch on yet and i even know a bit about chicken care, Ventucky Chicken on FB -- i keep trying to present it -- nipples on a bucket bottom hasn't worked yet so i'm looking to try this pipe style as another option.

Probably is the best answer I can give. We did a 5 1/2 pound chicken and wrapped it tight and it worked fine.

I wouldn't think so. There are three metal plates on the floor of the trap. The chicken would have to get across two of them to receive a shock. It would have to really stretch to do that.

Yes..I have used it in the chicken run, exposed to the elements and it hasn't failed in 2 years.

Possibly. But, I wouldn't risk it. The typical stomp rockets for this version of toy look different and appear lighter in weight too. Awesome toy though. Kids love it, adults too sometimes. :)

to whom it may concern,although there seems to be 6 plus inches to a second floor plate that acts to conduct the jolt,butthere is also a floor plate in the first half.i would not trust the potential for a chicken to be curious enough,to try and peck at that floor plate in front.A little chick could be a victim as well.It does a number on rats and mongoose,though,here in Hawaii.

It is a hard plastic not rubberized. My dogs are 60 lbs and they push it around with their nose to get the treats to fall out. They do not try to bite it. It could dent the wall if it's thrown hard but I have not had that problem.

I wouldn't want to say yes, as I currently have 2 lovebirds and am learning as I go (never had birds before, but these guys are still doing great after 2 years with me, so I feel like I'm getting good at it), but I will say that when one of mine hurt his beak and couldn't chew hard food or seeds (took him to the vet...no worries), he loved it and stayed healthy otherwise. The other lovebird didn't like it, but my little bent-beak birdie couldn't get enough. I was glad to have this on hand for him. It's been trial and error to find nutritious food that they like. Sorry if this wasn't as informative as you need, but I do think mixing this with a bit of warm water is worth trying.
