Default Safe treats for little mouths!

Hello everyone!!!

I hope to get a robo in september time (anytime then onwards, hopefully at the reading show!) and i was wondering, I know that cambells and WW are very prone to diabeties, So i was wondering if robo's also have this? or is it safe to give them the odd sweet treat?

Im hoping to make my own but Fred dose have a fruit and nut honey stick atm, is that a complete no-no?

How about oven dried carrot? (like banana chips but less sugar?)

I only want 1 robo, as i wish to avoid splitting any number of them up, and if litters are odd numbers, one will have to go on its own? I will give him/her lots of toys love and attention! I was begging my OH to let me have a rescue robo on its own in P@H adoption area, but we dont have the space untill september. I have a mini duna is that suitable for a single? I am going to make my own levels for it.
thank you for the advice!
yaz! + fred

I've not heard of robos getting diabetes, as far as I know they aren't at risk. But its good to avoid giving too many sugary treats anyway

The fruit and honey sticks can be bad for their teeth so I would only give once every few months at the very most.
Dried carrot would be enjoyed I'm sure, but personally I'd give fresh carrot.

A mini duna is fine for a single robo

thank you everyone for the replies
fred wont have the second one for a month it was just to distract him from the bars till his new wheel arrived today!
I have millet sprays for fred so my robo baby will get some too! I was only thinking of drying the carrot to make it last longer, but if i have it fresh i'ld give it to them fresh
its good to know they dont suffer with diabeties and the mini duna will be fine for one.

thank you again everyone!
