Default Hamster Treats: Drops

I have a Syrian hamster and two hybrid dwarfs. I want to get some new treats for them and have heard of drops. I have chocolate and Milk drops from pets at home but I know these aren't very good to them so I only give them a couple a week. Can someone give me names of drops like different fruit drops or something and what hamsters like them and where to find them cheaply?
Thanks for any help xxx

Erin made this awesome haul video in December and she bought all sorts of flavours and even explains which are safe for each species:

Most treats are good in moderation just be careful with too much sugar!!!! Especially with dwarfies!

I get some Fruit Shapes as well as the choc drops to give mine, they only get one of each per week though. They seem to like the Fruit Shapes as much as the choc though, I get them from the supermarket, they're quite cheap too!

My advice about drops for the hybrids would be to go to wilkinsons and get their sugar free dog chocolate drops. We use them as a slightly safer alternative to normal pet chocolate drops for the diabetes prone species.

We actually find that drops aren't usually too popular with our hams though, the majority of their treats are now more diabetic friendly grains and seeds and things like that and they go down better with our hams than most shop bought treats do
