When I put Chibi back into her cage I give her a treat (a few oats) so that she doesn't think going back into her cage is a bad thing. Is this okay to do? And if so, how many oats are actually okay to give her? Is 4 too many since I would do it every day?

We have a treat a day habit here. Generally after play time if they're good and come to us and let us cuddle them for a bit we give them either: a couple oats, a cheerio, a pinch of wheat germ, a raisin, or shredded wheat.

I don't give any other thing but oats (as treats), since I became paranoid with treats... So I let her have some oats daily or every two days...

Sometimes I give her the outside part of a peanut. I found out that she loves breaking the little thing, so I give it to her (it's that ok? If it doesn't have peanut, could it be wrong..?)
