Whole wheat pasta?

[Raela]

I seem to remember from the old CNQ site that dried whole wheat pasta was a safe treat to give your chins in small amounts. Is that true or am I just falsely remembering?:hmmm:

I give my chins whole wheat and tri color minus the white pasta. I get Hodgkin's Mills tri color actually it's quad color whole wheat rotini as a treat. It has beet, carrot and spinach--except Wesley doesn't like the beet! But everyone else just loves them. I give these maybe twice a month only though. Stand back though because once they start is sounds like a sawmill going on in the livingroom!

Hedgemom had said that plain whole wheat pasta is fine, in moderation as a treat like the others.

Laurie's right about the noise! The noodles are so hard, it's a very loud crunching noise. But chins love them. Buy small pasta, though--they are very hard to break!

Thanks so much. I gave them a small macaroni noodle and they loooved it. I love watching them hold it in their little hands and crunch crunch crunch!!

This is slightly a little off topic, but is anyone still concerned with wheat allergies? I don't feed anything to the kids here because of the possible wheat allergies I've read about....just curious?

I have only read about a couple of chins with wheat allergies and it was nothing concrete as far as documentation, I don't think it is anything to worry about in general. I would love to read more about it, do you have any links? With that said, I have never fed wheat pasta to my chins.

What about the "gluten free" rice flour pasta that's available? Not that I'm worried about a wheat allergy, just that it's what I have on hand for my mouse.
