I'm looking for something like this, but with smaller openings, but I can't seem to find anything. Anyone have any ideas? I want to be able to pop some almonds in it.

Maybe if you google name it might come up with something near you

always you could put shredded paper or something in there to make it harder for her to get stuff out

I thought about that, but if she can't see the almonds she won't dig through stuff :rolleyes: she's like a small child with no attention span

I just want to say that the original design you pictured - My goffin took it apart in just a few days - popped the welds.
I'd try the caitec ne or the millet holder first.

Dang, I'd thought it was the same one! Thanks for the heads up!

Be careful with the baffle cages- they are not all made the best and there are many with really crappy welds which makes them a bit dangerous and more than not are poorly made, not all made by the same people I would also guess as I have seen some really beautifully welded ones and some terrible ones (our first two were not satisfactory but the third I got was and is still ok)
I recently got the new better made baffle cage which is called the foraging bin, it is honestly much safer (made with a larger gauge wire) and sturdier (perfectly welded and put together) and I love it a thousand times more than I ever loved the baffle cage. You can see a pic of it on my Instagram as Burt and I won one a few weeks back.

Do you eat oatmeal at home? Save the boxes and the plastic lids. ( If you can find cardboard lids even better) On the sides of the box cut slits or little squares out, Peek holes. In the bottom of the box punch a small hole and thread thru hemp cord with wicked large knot or use a pony bead tied to the cord. Add treats, paper shred, corn husks that you boiled and dried, foot toys, whatever you want. Punch a hole in the top lid center thread cordage thru plastic lid another big knot and slip knot higher up for pear hook.
Most of those baffle cages are made overseas and who knows what is in those welds. We went oatmeal boxes when I was volunteering at the clinic.
