What's in the bowl today?

Aside from their normal mix and water I try to give my hammies something extra every day, whether that's a little piece of cucumber, a yoghurt drop or even a mealworm or two. I thought it might be a nice idea to have a thread where other people can talk about what they have given their hamsters each day and maybe find out some new ideas

Today my hamsters have had a special treat of some vegetable, chicken and rice baby food and a few coriander leaves. Seems to have gone down well with my hybrid boys, the others are still asleep

Today Popcorn had his usual mix plus some small bits of dried carrot and banana, a few extra sunflower seeds and a small amount of mashed sweet potato which he loved licking from my finger

Today Ligeia will be having a couple of peas. It's so cute watching her eating them as they look so big in her paws. She loves them. The gerbils will be getting peas too. I've not tried her with coriander leaves or sweet potato. I will add them to the list.

oo I've never thought to try mine with sweet potato, not normally a veg we have that often. I shall have to go recipe hunting to justify buying some for the hamsters to share lol

A good recipe is shepherds pie but instead of normal mash use sweet potato, it's delicious! Obviously cool it down before giving any of the mash to the fluffs

Edwin got a blueberry as well as his regular food tonight, Sheldon had a millet stick because it was his birthday on Friday and I forgot >.< so he had that as an extra with his food and baby Willow is a Chinesey so I'm avoid fruit and sugary stuff with her. She got extra mealworms with her food to help with her growth

[Munchalot]

Today we had some live waxworms, a few flax stems and some pumpkin seeds.

Along with the usual mix of course.

Aside from her mix, my hammie tried a bit of zucchini today She loves the easily-held stuff.
