1. A method for making a pet toy, the pet toy including a housing defining an opening having an interior surface, the method comprising:
applying an adhesive to the interior surface of the opening of the housing;
positioning an insert at least partly within the opening of the housing, wherein the adhesive facilitates binding between the insert and the interior surface of the opening; and
expanding the insert within the opening of the housing, by heating the insert or exposing the insert to microwave energy, so that the insert is inhibited from moving out of the opening of the housing.
