Product description
Two colours of pressed drop in one 75g tub, for hamsters, gerbils, rats and mice. They are a reward, and the pack is honest enough to put a number on it: up to six a day.
The composition is the shortest in the range and the most revealing: wheat flour, vegetable fat, permitted colourant, sucrose. So this is a sweetened biscuit drop with colour in it, not fruit. Critter's Choice do not claim otherwise on the pack, but the name does a lot of work.
- Wheat flour, vegetable fat, colourant, sucrose
- Up to six per day
- For hamsters, gerbils, rats and mice
There is no raspberry or strawberry in it. The composition is four ingredients and none of them is fruit. Sucrose is table sugar and it is the fourth of four. That is fine for the occasional bribe and it is not fine as a daily habit, especially for a dwarf hamster, which is the species most prone to diabetes.
Who it's for: taming and training a small pet, in a household that treats these as sweets rather than food.
Why we chose it
Every pet shop has a tub of these and almost nobody prints what is in them. This retailer's transcription does, which is why we can tell you it is a sugar drop. We stock it as a taming treat with that caveat attached.
— Matt, founder

Common questions
Is there real fruit in them?
No. The composition is wheat flour, vegetable fat, EEC permitted colourant and sucrose. The fruit is in the name and the colour.
How many a day?
The pack says up to six.
Are they safe for a dwarf hamster?
Dwarf hamsters are prone to diabetes and these contain sucrose. We would give one or two at most, occasionally, and pick a plain dried vegetable treat for everyday use.
