Why

Raspberries are low in sugar for a fruit and carry vitamin C and antioxidants. Wash them and check for mould in the hollow centre.

How much is too much

2–3 berries, 2–3 times a week.

Treats and fruit should stay under roughly 20% of the daily bowl. The rest is pellets, leafy greens and a good chop.
