I have been searching for a big squeaky die (dice? whatever). I bought one for my beardie (he can only play with squeaky toys as he is blind) and he loved it! So much so that he killed it (squeaker is gone and won’t reinflate after he mashes it). Does anyone have any idea where to get another one? Of course I tried the store I got it from and [Pets.com](http://Pets.com) and various other sites. If anyone knows where I can find one, if you could include store contact info so I could order it. Thanks

Sorry, I don’t know where to get this exact toy. But I just bought a bag of squeaky balls at Target for my aunt’s dog. There were 8 balls for $8 or $9 dollars. So if you have a Target near you, this might be worth looking into.

These are toys with multiple squeakers, the theory being they will last longer than toys with only one squeaker.

This is a different page of the same store. These are toys that make other sounds, like “boing” or giggling. Your dog might like these.

Another website, with toys that make a variety of sounds.

Same site, toys that “crinkle”

I hope you find what you are looking for. I have a cat that recently went blind. When he’s playfull we dangle a ribbon on his face so he can feel it, and he swats it. Then we drag it on the floor near him and he can hear it and swat it. He doesn’t like squeaky toys, which is too bad.

Does it have to be a die? My dog has the squeaky rolled up newspaper, the squeaky shoe, the squeaky tweety bird and the squeaky submarine sandwich. He loves them all and has no reservations about shoving them right in my face at 5:30 AM when they are all slobbery and squeaking them until I wake up.

Ok, this is going to sound weird, but I went to yahoo and did a search on Squeaky Dice.

This website: [http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/markcooper/dice.htm](http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/markcooper/dice.htm)

came up. The page says he has squeaky dice - maybe you should email him and ask him where he got them?

Ok, so I’m an idiot…I figured it was worth a shot, though! STOP LOOKING AT ME FUNNY…

Are we looking for a vinyl toy or one of those soft, fuzzy toys with the squeaker sewn inside?
