Mark & Chappell Nutri-Care Treat Ums

[TheDoctor]

Hello all

Does anyone know if these treats contain sugar? it doesnt state on the pack itself but I have heard some people claim they do contain sugar. I have (I believe) a winter white dwarf handful of joy but i suspect its a hybrid as she came from a pet shop. I know they are susceptible to diabetes and i only give her half a "pillow" after i have handled her (the pack states one treat per day for a hamster which i assume they probably mean a syrian hence why i cut it in half and she only gets half of one a day).

if anyone could let me know I would be grateful, and if they do contain sugar then I will stop feeding her these and just stick to a mealworm or a few sunflower seeds instead (she loves these, but she also likes these trate ums too).

According to amazon they do contain sugar M&C Nutri Care Healthy Bites with Omega 3 Treats for Small Animals 30g (Pack of 6): Amazon.co.uk: Pet Supplies has the ingredients listed on here

ok thanks. I guess it would be best to just stop giving her these then and stick with mealworms and sunflower seeds. I'll check out other threads for some other ideas.

EDIT: If they really do contain sugar then im pretty disgusted that it isnt labelled on the packet themselves. I may just have to email the company

I've got these bought mine from P@H I think amazon are wrong i have packet here. It states no added sugar and the ingredients list shows no sugar.

I would have thought they would have listed the ingredients on the packets I'm very surprised they don't. I have a chinese hamster and i avoid giving her anything sugary i just give her things like mealworms, broccoli, cucumber, cauliflower, Puffed rice, linseed, millet, lentils, dog biscuits, kale

This site also states that they contain sugar M&C - Healthy Bites Nutri Care and this one nice-goods.de: M&C Nutri Care Healthy Bites with Omega 3 Treats for Small Animals 30g (Pack of 6) quite a few sites mention sugar in the ingredients may be worth emailing them to find out

thats why im asking. what it states on the pack is different elsewhere.

well their website wasnt very helpful so I have sent an email. I shall inform those here when I get a reply. hopefully wont be a long wait

I just got an email reply from the company. this is all they said:

"I would like to confirm that none of our products contain added sugar."

so I guess they may still contain some sugar, its just that they dont add to it
