Chew toys for crate?

[Rileys mom]

When I crate Riley, I would like to put a chew toy in his crate to give him something to do. What are some safe chew toy recommendations that he could have unspervised?

I have a nylabone for puppies but I don't him have that unsupervised. Has anyone used the Orka toys?

When Fillion was being crated at night, I would put Busy Bee and a bully stick in for him. His bee was his favorite plush toy from the first day

I'm assuming you don't give him the puppy nylabone unsupervised because you worried he might choke on it, but just today I spotted a very long nylabone filled with turkey flavorings. I don't know how big your dog is so I don't know if this would work or not but he wouldn't swallow it (or not until it got very small, I would throw it out it out at that time). I also use treat dispensers. The package says that it will keep your dog occupied for hours, but my dogs will lick them clean in less than 30 minutes.

I had read warnings about the possibility of the nylabone breaking into small pieces. Maybe I am to worried something will happen. I haven't seen any othr shelties to compare Riley too, but I think he seems pretty small so maybe he can't chew hard enough with puppy teeth to break the nylabone. I have not seen Riley show much interest in the puppy nylabone for awhile. Maybe he needs a flavored one to hold his interest? I will have to try to find the turkey one you mentioned
