Default Re: Help regarding hamster supplements (Oxbow Joint and Urinary support) ...

I honestly don't know the answer but both supplements contain glucosemine which is beneficial for joints but don't really understand how it can help to prevent utis'.

Personally, i don't give supplements to my hamsters because everything they need should be in their food.
I do sprinkle hamster herbs for foraging and give a daily pinch of brown linseeds additionally to their hamster mix, treats and fresh food though. Aside from the glucosamine, it seems that the other ingrediets can be found in dried hamster herbs.

I would look into any possible side effects of glucosamine, especially when given as the listed main ingredient in two separate supplements.
