New Oxbow Treats...

[kaykay]

And maybe these aren't *new* but I just got an e-mail today about them being available. I personally wouldn't feed these to my own fur-kids... Oxbow is a great company IMO and makes several great products for chins...but not too keen on some of these.

What's everyone else think?

ETA: They are offering them up to several kinds of pets...I always think chins first, of course.

I make my own treats for my chinnies but I don't think those Timothy treats sound too bad. I just wouldn't spend that much money on 'cookie' type treats for my girls. I'd rather spend that money on sticks, pumice, bamboo shredders, etc.

Agreed. Oats and rosehips suffice here and the occasional homemade cookie of my own that is 95% timothy hay.

Yeah, those aren't too bad...I just prefer to make my own treats or stick to basic treats that are cheaper

Agreed. Mine are about 90% hay, then comes oats. Other than that it's just a bit of stuff (all chinnie safe) to make them taste delicious.
