I'm not sure what you can give her, but one thing my hamsters love is porridge oats and cornflakes! Make sure they have no sugar on them though.

Could be, my puppy had a very sensitive tummy when I first got him, as he has grown he doesn't suffer from upsets so much (thank goodness!)
I think I've still got some cheerios from when I had my gerbils, I'll see if she likes those.
Thank you

I tend to stick to natural treats, millet sprays, sunflower & pumpkin seeds in the shell so they have to work for them, monkey nuts (one of those should last a while!) mine love porridge oats to, just a few dried as they come, small pieces of nut like walnut or brazil are good for hand feeding, I usually just chop up a few tiny pieces for them, other seeds like sesame, flax or hemp all make healthy treats.
If she doesn't have veg already some small pieces are kind of a treat although just part of their diet they don't know that lol!

She has just had her normal food up to now, I was waiting for her to settle before introducing stuff. I'll try her on a little bit of veg. I'll have to see if I can get some monkey nuts next time I go to the shops as well as some of the other things you mentioned.
As for the yogurt drops, they are only going to be an extra special treat occasionally, only 1 or 2 a month at the most probably.
Thank you.
