Is this toy made of rubber or hard plastic? How noisy is it?

This toy is made of hard plastic. It is not very noisy, just the noise of kibbles rolling around inside as your dog rolls the toy to get the treats. It is a fun toy for a dog. :)

Hard plastic, yes, but it is textured and has a quieter sound than the smooth, 'shiny' plastic and Kong Wobbler when rocking around on on a wooden floor. It also has a round bottom so the rocking does not include the clunking sound that accompanies the Kong Wobbler rocking (when it bothers to rock). My dog doesn't move it around the house much so the noise level might be greater if your dog is more enthusiastic about that sort of thing. I bought this at the same time I bought an IQ treat Ball, by the way, and the light-weight, smooth-plastic Ball was MUCH noisier.

This is a hard plastic and only noisy on hard floors, but to me, well worth it!!! I have a Morkie puppy. It is like a big "Weeble Wobble(?)". You put the treats on top (unscrew), adjust the opening, then adjust the door opening on the bottom as shown. Our pup gets into everything and this keeps her busy. Noise on the wood floor is OK with me if it keeps her out of trouble!

Made of hard plastic. Can make noise on hard floor...they really roll it around. On carpet of course it's not a problem. We have a 100 lb. Great Pyrenees "puppy".....keeps him busy for awhile and it is real easy to load and adjust the difficulty devices. Good luck!

Hard plastic. It doesn't make much noise unless knocked into the cabinetry. My 60# lab/pit mix uses this toy vigorously and the noise is usually tolerable (but I do have two young kids, this is relative!). The dog likes to take it onto carpet and it makes almost no noise there.

It's plastic, but it's a very hard, very durable plastic and I gave it to my grandson a year ago as a gift. He plays with it all the time and plays hard and it is still in excellent shape. He loves it. I would definitely recommend it.

It doesn't have a squeaker inside it, but sometimes the rubber makes a slight squeaky noise. It's not all the time, and it's not loud or annoying.

There is a slight smell of rubber at first but it should be VERY easy to squeek. It was my grandsons favorite toy and now I give it to all new moms as shower/baby gifts.

It appears to be made of a pressed wood. I enjoy playing the memory game with this one. My little one has been playing with this since he was 1 1/2. At first he liked naming the animals and the sounds, and then he liked getting the animals back in their place and now we play memory with it. It is actually a very nice toy. This is one that I will keep in the toy box long after my child has outgrown it.

No, it is not a squeak toy.It is heavy duty rubber, so far long lasting resistant, to breaking apart.

It's hollow rubber so it squishes nicely. My first one lasted from January to June with my half GSD dog, and even then it wasn't falling into pieces, just had a crack in it. And it's his only toy.

They are plastic. We were hesitant about buying it for this reason, but my son uses it for almost an hour every day and they haven't worn out in the 4 months he's been using it. It is a bit loud, would be quieter if it had rubber wheels.

Made of very hard plastic, about 4" wide 6" long. Very durable my 6 year old is rough and it's still going strong.

It's not all that heavy, but it is a hard plastic. It makes quite a bit of noise when dropped on wood floors. If you have carpet, it might be OK. My dog loves it, but I always have her play outside with it mainly because our floors are wood, and the noise would be bothersome for us. Wish I could help you more.

Yes it squeaks its not a squeaky like stuffed animals though it has a squeaker made on one of the sides so does the football. Our lab loves this and the dura play football. After a while of him chewing and playing with it if he puts a hole into the rubber it will stop squeaking. He is really rough on toys and he has now had the football squeaker still squeaking since Christmas. If you don't want it to squeak you can put a small hole in it and it will stop squeaking.

Yes, it's hard rubber but not hard like a big baseball. I kicked it plenty (in shoes) and I thought it was fine.

Looking on Petsafe's website, yes, I think it's made of natural rubber. http://www.petsafe.net/support-topic/toys-what-are-the-busy-buddy-toys-made-of-busy-buddy

It is in between, soft plastic, but rigid enough to maintain shape very well. It is a little slicker than rubber, but with the ridges on the side it has a good gripping area. The frosted area has a slightly different texture. It reminds me of a kids bouncy ball that's inflated to the max.

Plastic, but very sturdy. We have a 4 and 2 year old that play with it daily (along with 3 other Bruder toys) never had one break! Highly recommend!

It is plastic. But it has a texture that feels like hard rubber. I don't know about the packaging since I only bought the one item. I have had this for a year and it is still like new
