Default English treats

Hey guys! I am putting together a giveaway on my Instagram for non English people as I want to give away items from the UK that can't be found elsewhere. It has been a long time since I lived in the U.K. I will be visiting in a couple of weeks so that I can pick some bits up - are there any from Pets at Home that your hamsters really like? Thanks!

Just make sure nothing has any vague ingredients,unspecified preservatives(such as E&C approved which is a loophole term to allow the use of cancer causing preservatives aka BHA/BHT/ethoxyquin without being specified),digest/derivatives/meat and bone meal of any sort/animal liver or generalized liver along with animal fat or any other generalized fat/biproduct meal of any sort(or any other similar unspecified biproduct),artificial dyes,artificial flavors,propylene glycol,sulfur dioxide,and of course nothing from China or that is irradiated(preferably also without corn and or wheat if it is anything that could potentially get shared with cats or dogs,since if this happened it would be very bad since both of these are safe for hamsters yet terrible for dogs and cats).

There will definitely be some specific products mentioned by others though,but keep these safety precautions in mind no matter how popular a product may be

I was thinking along the lines of the woodlands range eg the dandelions and other flowers etc.

The woodlands range are quite popular, Rosewood treats are good too, things like the dandelion sticks & shrimp cookies seem to be liked by most, the Versele Laga crock complete is generally liked by most hams another popular treat.
I don't really use much in the way of bought treats so that's about all I can think of just now!

My hamsters are fond of the 'Nibblots' range. They're biscuit-like parcels with a fruit/veg paste inside (carrot, apple and berry).

Thank you so much! The crock complete sounds good too - I will have a look at that one as well

My Pumpkin favourite treats from p@h are:
The stuffed carrot woodroll - http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pe...woodroll-treat (they also do a parsley one but that wasn't as popular with my past hamsters as the carrot one was)
And also these
NibblePot - http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pe...imal-treat-75g - they come with different contents in the pots but I normally get Pumpkin the one with apple chips
