a unsaul treat that my hammies like

[Matty Day]

i dont know if anyone has tryed this but my hammies love brussel sprouts.

My hammies enjoy a bit of sprout now and then too.

[babyboos]

my hamsters love them raw and cooked

[Holly]

Our old guys do also - now they are back in season I'll have to try the babies with them as well. I think they like them cooked (no salt) even more than raw!

I know you can feed them to hamsters however, I am sceptical about this as I know it has a possibility to cause a blockage in the hamster's digestive tract likewise as lettuce and cabbage does.

[Spuds Mum]

we feed ours brussels sprouts and cabbage, with no problems. The hams love them and I've not heard anything about them causing blockages before. We only do this as a treat along with their other 'supplementary foods'.

I don't feed lettuce as the high water content means that the hams can easily get diarrhoea.

I agree with Teresa - brussel sprouts and cabbage are fine, lettuce isn't such a great idea as it can easily lead to diarrhoea. Where did you hear about them causing "blockages"? If anything it'd be the opposite - diarrhoea if fed in excess.
