ALICE offers a single small animal treat: SHEBA MELTY Creamy Treats 12g x 4 Chicken with Fish. This guide gives Malaysian owners a practical 7-day transition schedule, portion and water advice, hot-weather watch points, and clear signs for when to see a vet.
What ALICE Offers for Small Animals
ALICE is a brand focused on small animal care. Currently, the range includes one product: SHEBA MELTY Creamy Treats 12g x 4 Chicken with Fish. This treat comes in a pack of four 12g sachets, each containing a creamy chicken and fish treat. It is designed for small animals, such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other small pets.
Because it is a treat, it should be fed in moderation and not as a replacement for a complete diet. Always check the packaging for the most up-to-date ingredient and nutritional information. If your small animal has specific dietary needs, consult your veterinarian before introducing any new treat.
The product is available in the Small Animals > Little Pet > ALICE category. For more details, visit the ALICE brand hub at /brands/alice.
7-Day Transition Schedule for ALICE SHEBA MELTY Treats
When introducing any new treat to your small animal, a gradual transition helps minimise digestive upset. Use the following 7-day schedule as a guide. Adjust based on your pet's size and tolerance.
Day 1–2: Offer a tiny amount—about the size of a grain of rice—once per day. Observe for any immediate reactions.
Day 3–4: If no issues, increase to a pea-sized amount once per day.
Day 5–6: Offer a pea-sized amount twice per day, or a slightly larger single portion if your pet tolerates it well.
Day 7: You can now feed a regular treat portion as per the feeding guidelines below, but always keep treats to less than 10% of your pet's daily calorie intake.
Remember that this schedule is for treats only. Your pet's main diet should remain consistent. If your pet shows any signs of digestive upset (diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting), stop the treat and consult your vet.
Portion and Water Guidance
SHEBA MELTY treats are rich and creamy, so a little goes a long way. For small animals, a portion of about 1/4 to 1/2 of a 12g sachet per day is generally sufficient, depending on the species and size. For very small pets like hamsters, a pea-sized amount is plenty. Always remove any uneaten treat after a few hours to prevent spoilage.
Fresh, clean water must be available at all times. In Malaysia's hot and humid climate, water can spoil quickly or grow algae. Change water daily, and more often if your pet tends to soil it. Use a sturdy water bottle or bowl that cannot be easily tipped over.
Treats should not replace water or main food. If your pet is not drinking enough, consult your vet. Never add the treat to water unless specifically instructed by a vet.
What to Watch in Hot Humid Weather
Malaysia's tropical climate can affect how you store and feed treats. SHEBA MELTY treats should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, the sachet should be resealed and refrigerated, then used within 24 hours. Do not leave opened treats at room temperature for long periods.
Watch for signs of heat stress in your pet: lethargy, rapid breathing, drooling, or seeking cool surfaces. Small animals are susceptible to overheating. Ensure their enclosure is well-ventilated and away from direct sun. Provide cool, fresh water and consider using ceramic tiles or frozen water bottles (wrapped in a cloth) for your pet to lean against.
Humidity can also promote mould growth in food. Check the treat packaging for any signs of damage or moisture before feeding. If the treat looks or smells off, discard it.
When to See a Vet
While treats are generally safe, some pets may have allergies or sensitivities. Seek veterinary advice if you notice any of the following after feeding: vomiting, diarrhoea, excessive scratching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
Also consult a vet if your pet refuses to eat its main diet, shows signs of pain, or has a sudden change in behaviour. In hot weather, if your pet is panting heavily, has convulsions, or collapses, it could be heatstroke—seek immediate veterinary care.
Regular check-ups are important, especially for small animals who may hide illness. Your vet can provide personalised advice on diet and treat inclusion.
How to Choose and Use Treats Wisely
When selecting treats for your small animal, consider the following checklist to ensure you are making a safe and suitable choice.
Always introduce new treats gradually, keep portions small, and monitor your pet's response. Treats should complement, not replace, a balanced diet. For more product options, explore our /categories or visit the /brands page.
