Maybe I should print out your post and read it to my hamster. I will start by saying 'Cinnamon Bun these wormies you have to eat...' then I'll read off what you said about their nutritional value and their texture relates to a twig. She chews on her apple twigs, so she can chew on this dried worm too.

For that reason you're meant to snap their heads off before feeding them to a hamster.

Gross, i stick to dried and freeze them for a week to avoid additional protein in the shape of weevils.

Picked some dandelion greens for my hamster last evening. They were all gone this morning.

Yes, they love those and they can have the odd flower as well.

Those I save for me.

Dipped in flower and egg batter then deep fried.

They're a tasty treat and one way to get rid of them before they turn to seed.

Hah!

There will be plenty for everyone.
