Which nuts?

[Peachesmum]

My family has mixed nuts in their shells for Christmas, just wondering which would be good treats for Peaches? I know not to give Almonds, but are hazelnuts or chestnuts ok? I know she likes walnuts because she has a good chew of one on her dangly wooden cage toy...

No almonds? Thank you... Our lot have some in the mix from my Mum for Christmas apparently. Now you've said it I'll remember, but I had completely forgotten.
I think the hamstercentral wiki has a list of foods, but I still haven't gotten too great at finding it...

I think chestnuts are ok??? dont take my word for it and just to say you can buy monkey nuts from asda (human ones) and mine LOVE them

According to a safe list I got off this forum, syrians can have:

Acorn
Brazil nut
Cashew
Chestnut
Hazelnut
Monkey Nut (Peanut)
Pecan
Pistachio
Walnut

I'd be weary of acorn though as they could have anything on them and I know they can poison horses.

Thanks Demecat, we nearly bought mixed nuts earlier which would've been the four listed in the first post - but then we found that the store had just hidden the walnuts on their own
Its handy to know for future reference though.
