Homemade Treats

[scabs]

Does anyone have a recipe for homemade treats that are good for keeping teeth short and healthy? But also something that my girl will eat because she can be picky!

Or for that matter, any that provide great nutrients for them but also taste good!
Like I said, my girl is picky and only eats the pieces of food that the bag labels "fat" and "carbs" (I guess she learned it from her momma haha).
She's good about veggies (regularly eats spinach, carrots (if she's in the right mood), cucumbers, broccoli, snap peas, asparagus, and celery) but she won't eat fruit or any sweet veggies (for instance, she ignored red and yellow peppers).
So basically I'm seeking something tasty so she'll eat it, but also that promotes healthy treats and provides important nutrients that she's missing from her picky diet (maybe something including nuts?)
Other ideas besides homemade treats are welcome, of course! But I'm thinking a homemade granola bar type treat may work best to fulfill these needs!

To be honest if she's fussy I'd just switch her to a pellet mix and make her go without treats for a few days. If she's hungry she should eat her food properly then.

Not too sure on homemade treats for teeth though

I do have a recipie for a HARD homemade treats.

Ingredients - 1 table spoon of your hamster's seed mix
- 1 table spoon of hamster pellets
- 1 TEA spoon of flax seeds or oatmeal
- 3 table spoons of hot water
- 3 table spoons of whole wheat flour or just plain flour (whole wheat is much healthier)
- microwaveable bowl and a microwaveable tray/plate/dish
You'll need a microwave too!

Step 1: Put all the dry ingredients in the microwaveable bowl (flour, pellets, hamster seed mis, and flaxseeds or oatmeal)

Step 2: Stir the dry ingredients.

Step 3: Add hot water (3 table spoons)

Step 4: Stir it again.

Step 5: (optional, add extra flour if the mixture is too "soft") Mold the moisture into cute little shapes.

Step 6: Put the little treats on top of the microwaveable tray/plate/dish.

Step 7: Microwave for two minutes, then flip the treats and microwave again for two minutes.

Step 8: Wait for the treats to cool down.

Step 9: Save the treats in a little container or/and feed it to your hamster(s)!

They are hard treats, so it MIGHT help with their teeth. If not, they are still good treats. It's basically hamster food with a little twist (it's also crunchier than hamster food) so it's pretty nutritious. Good luck
