healthy hamster treats recipes
Making homemade hamster treats: Hamsters are omnivorous, which means they eat both vegetables and meat. Their natural foods include grains, seeds, vegetables, and insects, and they will like corn, oats, or wheat mixed with dry dog food. Premixed hamster food from a pet store has complete nutrition, but some hamsters won't eat it.
Their favorite foods are foods native to their dry habitat, like seeds. For protein and variety, they will eat some small insects.
They like vegetables, but be moderate in how much you feed them. The key word for the hamster diet is variety. It keeps them healthy.Hamster Treats Recipe

1 box plain Cheerios cereal
variety of vegetables such as carrots, celery, bok choy
