[Gpdd] CARE: treats

[Ginger Fitzsimmons]

Somebody who will go nameless likes to give Kaytee's Healthy Bits to  
Mr. Mike for a treat. Mike thinks this is delightful and gobbles them  
up, but they have nuts and seeds in them and I've heard those aren't  
great for piggies, so I've thought about making treats to substitute.  
We are sad that Oxbow had to discontinue the Critter Berries.

YummyForDogs.org's website has a "Yummy for Rats" recipe that looks  
like it has potential, but it calls for crushed pecans. Are nuts  
generally unhealthy for piggers or is it mostly the choking hazard?  
Because I could pulverize nuts into powder if choking is the issue.  
Mr. Mike has sampled the "Cinnamon Apple Snacks" I made for a Corgi I  
know and thinks those are lovely chew toys.

My ideal would be a "cookie" that uses the little powdery bits of hay  
from the bottom of a bag, but I haven't figured out how to bind those  
together. Yet. :-)
