Hammie snack help

[alamaya]

Hi,

We feed Elsa Harry Hamster, I also give fresh veg.

Ive just seen people offer egg?, can I ask how, ie raw, boiled lol

Also is there any other things I can give.

We are still trying to bond fully and would love some yummy things to give to her

Hello!

Egg is scrambled is good for hamsters as it's a good source of protein when fed in moderation! Try not to cook the egg in oil however so it's not greasy!

There's a ton of good foods to feed hamsters, there's good hamster treats you can buy in shops and you can even make your own treats!

Some treats I recommend are
- Sunflower seeds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Honey treat sticks
- Small amounts of brown bread
- Yogurt, Milk, Chocolate and Honey drops
- Chicken, Milk or Plain Dog biscuits
- Plain cereal e.g. Cheerios, Plain Shreddies, Plain Shredded Wheat, Cornflakes
- Dried fruit

Good luck with Elsa! ♥

brilliant, thanks for your reply and the ideas to try

Mine likes a bit of hard boiled egg as well as scrambled, she tends to prefer the white!

A bit of cooked pasta or rice (rinsed with cold water to cool it off) goes down a treat too!

She also loves tofu but I know most people don't eat that. It's actually her favourite treat I think!

Harvey's favourite is broccoli, so cute when she's sat there holding a little 'tree'. Doesn't like carrot at all, cucumber is ok, cheese goes down well as does plain chicken.

Charlie goes potty for a piece of roast chicken! Other treats he gets are - a piece of cheese, half a brazil nut, a monkey nut, a piece of banana. Banana and chicken are probably the favourites.

I get dog treats for my rats and hamster. The meaty sausages are their favourite at the moment. Zoe likes a dog chocolate too. Mealworms are a good treat but Zoe doesn't like them.

Gave Yummy some cheese once almost lost my fingers when she snatched it

Larry goes crazy for the tiniest bit of strawberry, he'll steal it out of my hand and take it in to his house so I don't steal it back. I don't know how he'll feel when strawberries go out of season!
Winston likes uncooked broccoli.
