Brown Rice?

[happythieves]

I've been trying to find special treats for my girls in order to hand train them. One loves sunflower seeds-which we really limit; the other raw oatmeal (Funny bc the the one that likes the seeds is the chubbier one! Must be like humans, who like cookies over celery sticks!!! LOL)

I tried raw brown rice and they both really seem to like it (they make the cutest sound when they chew it too!). I've read that whole grains are good for them but just wanted to double check that here.

Whadda ya think?? Any other grains that you have tried??

Thanks for your suggestions.....

I found that my girls like the wheat grass seeds as much as they like the wheat grass itself. The fresh wheat grass is definetly better for them but I don't think small amounts of grain/seed will hurt. It's sometime hard to know what a small amount is. What is a small amount to a human is probably a large amount for a Degu.
