Mine loved those things. The first time I put one in a cage, my hamster had the happiest look ever. He just attacked it, and nibbled on it, and had a great time. Other good treats are carrots, yogurt drops, small pieces of veggies, unsalted nuts. There are tons of webpages with great ideas to keep your hamster's diet interesting.
I get those every once in a while for my rabbit and hamster. After my hamster has had her evening run in her ball, I put her back into her cage and let her have a bite of that treat stick, she loves them. I also give her milk bone dog treats (only about half of the medium size bones at a time), she loves those too.
Well i give my hamster carrots ( he loves them a lot) purple cabbage ( it helps prevent wet tail) grapes (not to much) apples ( no skin) and i also by a little hamster treats called snix snax and my hamster looooooooves all of those!
OMG my hamster used to love those treats!
I give mine sunflower seeds, pieces of fruit and vegetables and bread crusts.
The treats made and sold specifically for small rodents are typically safe to feed them. Those do look large... maybe only give him small pieces at a time.
I used to give my small rodents baby carrots, salt free popcorn (popped), and a wheat thin cracker on special occassions.
Yes, those treats would be fine, just give a small piece of it at a time, since they are sugary and fattening.
Other good treats are dry dog kibble, or small piece of a milkbone, a whole unsalted peanut with the shell still on, unsalted sunflower seed, pumpkin seed, dark lettuce or baby spinach leaves, small carrot, apple or dried apple, mealworms, crickets, fully cooked whole grain pasta, 100% whole wheat bread crust, and cooked chicken or beef(with fat and bones removed)
Remember to feed any and all treats in moderation!
No, it would not be bad to feed your fury friend those kind of treats once in a while(every other day is fine). When I had my hamster I fed him hamster yogurt drops, carrot sticks, ETC. Also supplie fresh veg. and fruit. You can add a little meat to your hamster's diet,(tuna, cooked chicken, meal worms). I also fed him seed and hamster pellets.Basically any treat that is for hamsters is good to give them, not all the time though!
good luck and enjoy your pet ( :
For her staple diet she gets Hazel Hamster. And I feed her fresh fruits and vegetables along with some mealworms.
Hamsters are very versatile in what foods they can eat,
but it is important not to feed your hamsters citrus fruits,
Like:
-lemon,
-oranges,
-etc.
Suitable foods are:
-banana,
-apple,
-nuts,
-rice,
-beansprouts,
-pasta,
-chicken,
-egg,
-hamster food.
Feed your hamster a small amount of vegetable and fruit each day.
Hamsters are omnivores and will accept meat and plant material, but it is not wrong to bring your hamster on plant material only.
Hamsters must have a water supply nearby by means of a bottle or bowl.
Without water a hamster will dehydrate quickly and could die. When feeding your hamster see how much it eats out of one bowl and then feed it the amount it ate the next day.
The normal amount to feed them is one tablespoon for a Syrian, feed your hamster a small amount of veg or fruit each day.
Food will get stale if left in the cage too long and will lose their vitamin content, so store hamster food in an airtight container in a dark dry place. Typically a hamster should be fed on a diet containing over 19% protien!
Its ok to give your hamsters treats but not to much!
Keep it healthy with fruits and vegies!
Good luck!
