Yogurt as a treat!

[Jessicy]

Can you give yogurt as a treat to your pet hog? and if so what are the flavores that can be given?

In small amounts, yogurt is fine. Eh, as for flavors, I'm not sure. Honestly, I usually just give her a bit of whatever I am eating.

Cool thanks i will try it tonight!

Hopefully youll have better luck with it than I did. Neither of my guys would touch it- no matter what flavor I tried. Bosco got so fed up with me trying to feed him that "healthy junk" that he continually knocked over his bowl of it every time I offered it to him.

My vet told me that a small amount of PLAIN yogurt (no sugar) is a good treat and actually helpful (helps restore natural flora in hedgie's tummy). I'm not sure about flavored yogurt though.

Ive heard the same thing- especially when/if you are giving your hedgie an antibiotic. The yogurt helps add the "good" bacteria back into the hedgies system since the antibiotic pretty much wipes out everything.

I tried giving some to Murdoc when he was on meds- of couse he wouldnt touch it (because it wasnt chicken baby food) :rolleyes:

Hm, Chloe has been on anti biotics for the past week, maybe I'll give her some yogurt tonight :)
