Cress is the only 'live plant' in their cages. I give them the usual treats like dried meal worms (they love them. £2 from wilko), puppy milk bones, cucumber, brocolli etc..

I have also started adding buckwheat and porridge oats to their food too as it was recommended.

What is this buckwheat I have seen people talk about.

I got mine from tesco. Not sure if Asda sells it. It's a wholegrain and i found it with all the other health foods.

Charley101 · 05-14-2012, 02:05 PM

Just have to try and find a link...

Here's what it is. According to this website only Tescos sells it. Compare supermarket prices | Online supermarket shopping | Save and compare on Health and Beauty products

Aww sucks. I guess I will just stick with cress and may try mealworms. How many do you give to your hammy?

Charley101 · 05-14-2012, 02:29 PM

I give them one or two a day

Wow you learn something new everyday! Belle is 8weeks old so is she too young for cress? Also I'm trying to work out how the hamster wouldn't eat the compost?

Would you eat dirt?

A ham won't eat the compost, they might get a bit dirty from it if they start digging in it but thats nothing to worry about

She should be fine having some

Thanks! I'll have a look for some when I do my next food shop
