The short answer

Yes — plain oats are a safe, wholesome treat.

Why

Plain rolled or porridge oats are a good source of slow-release energy and fibre. Serve them dry, or cooked with water only — never with milk, sugar or salt.

How to feed it

Offer a small sprinkle of dry oats, or a little plain cooked oatmeal, cooled.

How much & how often

A small amount a few times a week.
