 favourite christmas present January 3, 2007
Bought this for my seven year old for Christmas and it was easily the hit of all his presents (including the much more expensive ones). Spent a lot of time with his dad dissecting the owl pellet and using the charts in the book to identify the bones. I was especially pleased that the pellet could be taken to pieces with a cocktail stick - no knives etc. required.

Last Christmas I gave this as a gift to my friend's 9 year old son. This Christmas I am kicking myself because I know that nothing else I can buy will compete. He couldn't wait to get dissecting and worked away at his pellet for hours without a break because he was so fascinated by all his discoveries (he got very lucky - his pellet had two skulls in). If you know a budding young scientist, you simply won't find them a better gift. This is just wonderful, and next year I am hoping to be organised enough to just buy him a load of the sterilised replacement pellets in time for Christmas. Who would have though owl puke could make a child so happy?

If your kids aren't too squeamish then this has got to be a must-have educational and laughter inducing activity. My daughters loved it, at first apprehensive, then a little bit revolted and finally, genuinely interested and thrilled with the discoveries they made dissecting the Owl Puke. The accompanying book is pitched just write with gross-out pictures, plus facts and full animal identifying charts. Once you've finished your first pellet you can purchase new (sterilised) pellets from the States.
