Default Re: dwarf hamster treat options

I tend to stick to natural foods for treats, a monkey nut now & then is great for them (you might need to break the shell a little bit at one end until they get the hand of what it is!) sunflower & pumpkin seeds in the shell, other seeds like hemp or flax in small amounts, nuts are fine but in moderation as they are very high in fat.A few plain oats are often enjoyed too.
Millet sprays are enjoyed too.
Mine like a small piece of dried chicken or salmon.
I don't really think of veg as a treat more as a part of their daily diet, agree that broccoli is a real favourite! A good variety of different veg ( just one or two pieces of something each day) are very good for them & much loved, try to avoid giving sweeter veg too often but most are ok now & then.
