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.
