It is very difficult for us to recommend products when we don't know what is available to you in your country. Here in the US we would recommend products like these: ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/kaytee-timothy-hay-baked-apple-small-animal-treats ) ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/oxbow-15-oz-oxbow-alfalfa-hay ) ( ) I don't think dog biscuits are the best option.

The key to doing treats while a dog is on an elimination diet is to use treats that have the same ingredients as the food you are trying. Sometimes the easiest way to do this is to use canned food of the variety and flavor that you are using to put in a Kong or bake into treats. Other options would be to use sweet potato chews if the food you are feeding has sweet potatoes in it (which Zignature kangaroo does not) or giving dehydrated chews that are the same meat source that you are feeding (which will be a challenge for a kangaroo food). So, for the food you are feeding right now, the best option may be to use canned Zignature kangaroo to create treats for Lucy. Good luck! I hope that was helpful.

Oxbow has the best and highest quality products for small animals. I would use them. https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=oxbow+hamster+treats&crid=3T6HOVJLD89VW&sprefix=oxbow+hamster%2Caps%2C159&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_6_13 I am not familiar with the Living World brand as we don't have that here in the U.S. so it is difficult for me to comment on that.

The whey protein in this treat should not pose a problem unless Sweetie has a sensitivity to it. This is one of the better quality treats. Remember to feed treats in moderation to prevent obesity or finicky eating.
