Abstract
A toy that can be placed on an animal crate as an on-crate treat delivery system. The toy can encourage low-energy positive reinforcement for animals acclimating to a new crate. The toy can be supported by a mesh network of the crate to provide an off-the-ground design that provides a treat to an animal inside the crate and helps keep an animal bed clean by not encouraging licking or chewing the bed. The toy can also be used facing outward from the crate, utilizing the crate as an elevated post for treat consumption.
