How often to feed treats/ baby stealing rosebuds

[ReneeM]

I have been giving my older boy Phillip a rosebud or rosehip every other day, is this to often? My younger boy ( Terrance , about four months old) has stolen the rosebud on a couple of occasions. I am guilty of sometimes giving hi
A rosehip. Normally he gets a chew stick or loofa chew. Thanks so much!

That is too often. I think once a week is good for rosehips/buds, assuming your guy is over 6months. If you want to give a daily treat consider shreddable sticks or willow balls.

My guys get a rosehip/rosebud a couple times a week, and that's about it for treats. Other wise they get an twigs, sticks each day, never get can give enough of those! They think it's a treat, so all is well!

Thank you! My boys get sticks every night. I will stop giving them so many treats, I didn't realize they needed to be so sparingly. Should they be okay even though I was giving The oldest a treat every other day? I will not do that anymore. My oldest boy is about 7 months old. The youngest is four months. Is loofa okay to be given daily?

I think they should be ok, but just keep an eye on their stools etc, they are healthier treats than I've seen some give. Stay away from fruits, and veggies.
I personally give Loofah but only on their toys, I think every day is to much personally, I'd stick to giving them loofah either on a toy, or once a week is good. Stick to giving them twigs, etc daily if you must give them something every day. Or a hay cube! lol

Thank you so much. I'm learning to say no to those cute faces. My boys like to beg. Their stools and everything are normal.
