Can toothless have yogurt drops?

Hopefullygettingahamster · 10-15-2014, 03:15 PM

So as you may have noticed I have a new hybrid hamster named toothless. I was wondering if it was ok to give him yogurt drops (he may already have diabetes but I have to tame him before I can test him.) I really hope so.... I want a good treat for taming that I can easily get. (kinda wondering if they actually taste good because many of the hamster channels on YouTube say they do and now I'm curious.)

Erinshamsters says it's ok....

I wouldn't if he's prone to diabetes and I definitely wouldn't if you suspect he might already have it. I don't keep dwarfs but I'd look more at maybe sunflower seeds, mealworms or green veg as treats as they're much lower in sugar.

(Admission, I tasted one of the Rotastack ones because it specifically said on the bag that they were suitable for humans and I miiiight have had a few glasses of wine and it was very very sweet )

Yeah... I don't know... Maybe I'll tell my dad that there for him and just taste a few. XD

No, don't give your hybid yoggie drops. They are high in sugar- I don't give my Syrian the drops, due to the sugar content. Fresh broccoli, cauliflower, small piece of cooked plain chicken, toothless would probably enjoy, and is healthy for him

Absolutely not, there's way too much sugar in yogurt drops for a hybrid.

(Full disclosure, I have tried yogurt drops, and though they are a bit dry, they weren't bad xD)

Ok. Sunflower seeds and natural treats will have to do.

Yeah, I wouldn't have a packet with my coffee or anything but they're no worse than like off-brand milk chocolate buttons

My ham LOVES a little bit of cooked chicken and a few grains of plain cooked rice goes down well too. There are plenty of alternatives

Yeah I'll have to get him something natural and honey free... I'll look around a bit.

Hopefully- how about peanut? My dwarf loves peanuts- I break the shell, break up the peanut, and you can either hand feed them or put the pieces back in the hams shell- get non salted, raw peanuts.
