 A pet shop owner has just contacted me about &amp;quot;Rotastak&amp;quot; milk drops. They sell them in the pet shop and they&amp;#39;re basically a yoghurt with added sugar. They&amp;#39;re marketed as being suitable for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, mice and rats</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: Milk drops for guinea pigs</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/130114?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Feb 2015 12:22:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:32c4f4a6-5d1f-46e6-909f-b9371d7914ad</guid><dc:creator>Martin Atkinson</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I agree with Evelyn and would be equally worried about feeding herbivores sugary snacks and the impact on their teeth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) Be brave and tell the pet shop owner she&amp;#39;s a dork selling this crap,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) then go through the rest of her stock 90% of which is probably crap as well,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) next &amp;nbsp;wait while she tells her customers not to come to you,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4) &amp;nbsp;rest easily in your bed at night because you&amp;#39;d told the truth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Milk drops for guinea pigs</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/130087?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Feb 2015 09:01:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:ebe461cc-817c-4d95-9c5c-8d67cbbab402</guid><dc:creator>Glenn Hodgson</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t know the scientific answer but feeding milk sugar drops to adult rabbits, g.pigs etc sounds daft. &amp;nbsp;I hear they like grass and hay....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Milk drops for guinea pigs</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/130072?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Feb 2015 23:22:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:db107756-fa7f-4078-8797-af9ac7469718</guid><dc:creator>Evelyn Barbour-Hill</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;d be worried about the &amp;quot;added sugar&amp;quot; too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Milk drops for guinea pigs</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/130061?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Feb 2015 18:53:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e4403efe-6341-4fe9-8216-eca956b8084a</guid><dc:creator>Charlotte Marshall</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Honestly not sure but when I have used baby food in years gone by for rabbits/Guinea pigs I have always advised to make sure they don&amp;#39;t have milk in.
