Material and Construction

The Fabdog Faball Hedgehog Small is constructed with a 100% polyester plush outer shell wrapped around a solid spiky TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) squeaky core. Polyester plush provides a soft, lightweight exterior that is gentle on small dog mouths and comfortable for carrying. The TPR core is flexible, non-toxic, and provides light to moderate chewing resistance with a built-in squeaker and spiky surface texture. The layered construction — soft plush over a structured spiky rubber core — positions this as a light to moderate-duty durable dog toy that holds up through regular fetch and interactive play while remaining appropriately sized and weighted for small breeds.

Texture, Size, and Play Duration Guidance

The polyester plush outer shell feels soft and inviting on first contact, while the inner TPR ball is firm and flexible with a spiky texture and responsive squeaker. At 3" for the small size, this toy is well-proportioned for small breeds and dogs with a narrower jaw span. Engagement duration will vary — dogs focused on fetch and squeaking will enjoy extended sessions, while dogs who chew more aggressively may work through the plush layer more quickly. Once the outer shell is removed, the spiky TPR ball continues to function as a standalone fetch and chew toy, extending overall play life.

Play Style and Functional Use

Fetch Toy: The round shape and lightweight build make it easy to throw and retrieve for small dogs. The squeaker adds auditory reward on impact, reinforcing the fetch cycle and keeping dogs engaged across multiple rounds.
Chew Toy: The spiky TPR core provides light to moderate chewing resistance and tactile engagement. Best suited for light to moderate chewers — not recommended as a primary chew toy for aggressive chewers.
Plush Toy: The polyester outer shell provides a soft carry and comfort experience. Moderate supervision is recommended while the plush layer is intact.

Safety, Usage, and Care Guidance

• Moderate supervision is recommended, particularly while the polyester plush outer shell is intact
• Inspect the toy regularly — replace if the TPR core shows significant wear or if pieces become detachable
• Select the appropriate size for your dog — the small (3") size is designed for small breeds
• Not recommended as a primary toy for aggressive chewers
• Store in a clean, dry location when not in use

Cleaning and Maintenance

Spot clean the polyester plush outer shell with warm water and mild soap. Allow to air dry fully before returning to your dog. Avoid machine washing or high-heat drying methods, as these can damage the polyester shell and compromise the TPR core. Inspect the squeaker function periodically during cleaning.
