    Abstract: A pet ball toy feeder which is formed from two (2) hollow semi-spherical halves, each hollow semi-spherical half member including a hook member extending inwardly from its inside wall for anchoring an elastic member, such as a rubber band, which is attached to each hook member to normally retain the two (2) hollow semi-spherical half members together in a spherical ball configuration, but permits the two (2) hollow semi-spherical half members to be pulled apart or separated to allow pet treats or pet food to be placed inside the pet toy ball feeder. In a second preferred embodiment of a pet toy ball feeder in accordance with the present invention, the two (2) hollow semi-spherical half members are joined together by snapping resilient flexible projections outwardly extending from one or both of the two (2) hollow semi-spherical half members into one or more corresponding grooves in the other of the two (2) hollow semi-spherical half members.
