Treats

[Chibigirl]

Hi I'm in the process of getting Beaker some treats and just wanted to know your opinions on what my schedule with her will be. I'm getting her whole Rosehips and I just bought her some Shredded wheat cereal (no sugar of course ). The cereal is big so I'm going to break the pieces in half. I'm thinking that she will get either one rosehip a week or one half-piece shredded wheat a week. Is this a good amount? Thanks for the input!

That sounds just fine - the general rule is no more than one of any treat per day, so you could even up the frequency a bit if you wanted - we usually give a treat 2 or 3 times a week. You could also alternate with a pinch of old fashioned oats - they loves those!

And no treats for chins under 6 months old

I know she's at least 6 months old. The petstore said she had been there with them for 6-7 months but that they usually didn't get them until after they were over a month old so probably more like 7-8 months. And now its been a month since I got her so she should be around 7 months at the youngest. Should I wait longer before giving her anything?

No that's fine, she will love them. I love it when they like something so much they shut their eyes, so cute!
