Valerian filled mouse

[Helen]

Just gave Iggie & Ted their new toy, a valerian filled mouse I got from zooplus and they're going absolutely nuts, it is really funny to watch.

I just spent ages looking at toy mice...

Plauge rats are amazing!
i bought one for my girls from the supreme a couple of years ago and they go bonkers for it. i think is is a mixture of catnip and valerian in the filling.

i think it was the ladys own company so if you google plauge rats it may appear.

As I have posted before just be a bit wary of Velarian, it turns my big quiet boy into a monster,have even been bitten by him when he has been around it,fine with catnip although like them all he gets excited & drools but nothing like the character change in him if valerian is about.
I dread anyone near me at shows having it,not only because of Shims behaviour{nearly had to withdraw him at one show because of how it was making him behave}but boy does the stink give you a thumping headache if you can't get away from it,luckily it doesn't seem to quite so popular now & I think if they sell the toys containing it they are kept in a sealed container but you can still whiff it when the lid comes off.I always have vanilla at hand now to stick on Shims nose just in case,thats an idea perhaps I will have to use it as well...
I know at one show when it was first becoming popular,had Merlyn out on the bench then & he was fine,one of the ladies who was making the mice with valerian in said she had just brought a load of the stuff back from her holidays to use here & it had been in a bag in the locker above & it stunk the plane out,would have loved to have seen those faces....!

Do you know, I've been popping Paracetemols like there's no tomorrow for the past few weeks and have been putting it down to the change in weather... I'm sealing the toys in tubberware boxes when I get home to see if that helps.

Now this always confuses me, to me valerian is part of Skullcap and Valerian, which Dorwest Herbs sell by the bucketload every bonfire night!!!

It's used to calm animals at times of stress is this the same thing???
