A small look into my lack of variety



Well, not much there. I bought a pretty big bag of sunflower seeds, so I was just trying to divide it a little. Her regular mix is a loose from my local pet store, and I just remove the sunflower seeds sense she gets them every day anyway



I keep the treats (minus her food which is kept in a storage box) in a box that sits in my Ikea shelf along with some other hamster stuff, and Ikea boxes

They're crunchy balls flavoured with cheese,carrot, beetroot and alfalfa
Rodent Marbles - Naturals Range - £1.99 : ratRations.com, Rat food, base mixes and herbs

I've had them for a while now as they aren't a favourite and the bag is quite large But their great for adding into the food once a week to help with their teeth.

Wow i feel rubbish now with what i feed my hammys

So i am going to raid the kitchen cupboard hehe a few questions though

Plain Crackers - Is this like jacobs crackers? And how much and how ofton can they have it

Bird Seed - Is it just the normal bird seed you can but at homebase? Again how much and how ofton

Also same with Wheetabix is that all the time and how much

Sorry for the questions

Forgot to add can i feed all of the above to Syrians, Russian, Robo, WW and Chinese hammys? x

Yehh, jacobs crackers are good tbh i cant afford it so i just buy cheaper ones... they cant taste the difference!! x
bird seed, i buy it at the range ;D its called supreme bird food something sorry cant remember -.- if you have dwarfs buy the stuff with no corn otherwise you have to pick it all out ;D
yeah they can have aabit of weetabix but i dont know whether they can have it dried mine just get some low fat ones
Just dont give corn to the dwarfies x

[MandyP]

Ahhh i never take out the corn for my dwafts, they never eat it either so thats a good thing. Will remove it all now

I have some jacobs crackers we got for christmas which no one will eat so thats the only reason why i bought them, same as you i usually buy the cheaper version hehe X

I was told by a vet that jacobs crackers are bad for hams. Coz Doc loved them, and I had to stop giving them which felt very mean. I hope the vet wasn't lying? He was a dwarf, dunno if it makes a difference. But I imagine it's much the same as why you shouldn't feed hams white bread, only brown... :/

[fluffymunchkins]

I fed crackers (unsalted) to Peggy often, they were her absolute favourite treat and she would always snatch them from me In moderation I believe they are fine.
