Tomatoes
Just wondering if hams can eat tomatoes? I know they can't have the leaves but can't find anything about the actual tomatoes

Re: Tomatoes
Yes, they can. It`s the tomato leaves that are poisonous, but then they would be to humans as well! Just offer a small cube of tomato and remove the pips/seeds. Tomatoes produce lycopene, which is a really good cancer fighting agent.

Re: Tomatoes
Someone on another thread said they couldn't which I thought they couldn't because they are abit acidy? Maybe someone know a simple yes or no lol!

Re: Tomatoes
Tomatoes do contain vitamin C, but the acidity also helps to keep the Ph level of the urine from becoming too alkaline. I only ever fed my Syrian a small square of tomato a few times a week and he loved it.

Re: Tomatoes
Anthorn, we established that we COULD if you did NOT give then the pips, and stuff, as racing hamster said they contain vitamin c and as long as it was only a small bit it would be fine
