Hamster Treats
If you want to give your hamster a treat there are quite a lot on display in the pet shops. There are many kinds of treats for hamsters, like yogurt drops etc: which are specially made for them. They are expensive and contain sugar, additives and colouring. Manufacturers mislead consumers by marketing these so called treats with added vitamins and minerals as being nutritious. Any animal fed a proper diet has no need for extra vitamins. In fact too many vitamins can cause problems.
We all know that eating the right vitamins and minerals is essential for health. Fruit and vegetables are packed full of them. Most of theses treats have a high content of sugar, additives, and colouring and should be avoided.
Too many treats = one very fat hamster. |
It is cheaper and safer to give home made treats of your own making. Little pieces of apple, tuna fish, bananas, monkey nuts etc: are much healthier. The list is endless but check first to see if it is safe.
