Hi Guys
I have another food related question, this time regarding treats.
Are the nut/seed sticks that attach to the cage safe for Syrian hamsters to have regularly or just as an occasional treat? My hamster loves them and I feel it's a good way to get him to use his teeth as he is still not a big chewer. He also loves to pull the corn off cobs and eat the middle bit of the corn. I just wondered if he can have these types of things all the time or are they not very good for him?
I have tried wooden chew toys, whimzee's, dog biscuits and none of them really appeal to him.
Are there any healthy snacks/treats apart from fruit and veg that hamsters love?
I suppose I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone, find a nice enjoyable treat that he loves and is great for his teeth at the same time!
Many thanks!
