Default Re: Hamsters and Cookies

She should be fine Raw egg shouldn't pose any issues,especially if it was only a small amount.I'd be far more worried about things like chocolate,which are toxic,rather than something which if handled poorly(raw egg,raw meat,etc)can contain bacteria.

Raw egg and raw meat would be more natural than the cooked variations actually,and as long as they're properly handled should pose no issues.Freeze dried chicken for example is raw and completely harmless,yet for whatever reason more people jump to assume that raw meat is harmful.While it isn't for everyone,feeding raw meat or eggs that have proper handling procedures isn't necessarily a terrible thing as one may assume based on what humans eat!

As for salmonella in general,it's more of a concern to those with compromised immune systems(including pets)but healthy animals are rarely if ever affected by raw meat/raw egg as long as it has been handled properly.Of course,that is only for the animals designed to eat meat and egg.
