rabbit yogurt drops?

[mrnibblesmommy]

ok, so im a bit concerned. im on a couple hamster groups in FB and i'm seeing a TUN of people who are giving their hamsters the treats for rabbits that i attatched a pic of. i could swear i read on here once that you give hamsters HAMSTER y ogurt drops because they wont hurt their cheekpouches and are made different for that very reason. how can rabbit drops be safe then? wont they melt or make their cheekpouches all icky? or contain things that aren't how they should be for a hamster? or am i really wrong here?

I've been told that rabbit products for rabbits have an ingredient in them that isn't suitable for hamsters. I can't remember the name of that ingredient sorry.
We should only use products that are especially for hamsters.

These aren't suitable for rabbits, never mind hamsters. Rabbits can't have dairy - so that makes these dairy based treats incredibly bad for rabbits.

Also, I find it ironic how we're concerned about an Ingredient being bad in a yoghurt drop, of all things. Do you know what the hamster kind are made of? Pure sugar and fat. There's legit nothing healthy about them. Honestly, I'd avoid yoghurt drops of all sorts - plain yoghurt works a gem, if you must feed yoghurt for whatever reason.

Sounds like the product is targeted at people, without much consideration for the animal. That's common in pet food/treat advertising.
