Alternative Treating?

Mar 04, 2010 21:29

Hello, everyone out there in critter land! I'm cross-posting this between the Ratties community, and Chinchilla_love, Chinchillin, 'coz I'm looking to see if these snacks are suitable for my snugglebums.

There are three types of berries that have cropped up in my local organic health-food grocery store, and since beginning to consume some myself, I have begun to wonder if they're viable options for treats for my critters. These berries are: Goldenberries, Goji/wolf berries, and Mulberries. (I know Wiki's not the most credible of sources, but it's an easy place to start)...

I've been looking for a comparison of the sugar content of Goji or Goldenberries or Mulberries VS Raisins, but have had no luck as of yet. I know that there's a lot of crazytalk out there, especially about the magical powerz of Goji berries, and I was wondering more along the lines of “will these work as treats”, and secondarily: “do these have any health benefits/detriments for my critters”?

Have you any thoughts? Experience?
Thanks in advance!

Xoxo
