Hamsters

You should never feed any fruit or vegetable that is over or under-ripe or that is wilting, as this is not healthy for your hamster. A good rule of thumb to follow is: would you eat it? If not, then do not feed it to your pet. Never collect fresh plants from the side of the road or from areas that have been, or are likely to have been, sprayed with pesticides as this will be harmful to your hamster. Meat Hamsters need meat protein in their diet. This is already in the better commercial diets, but your hamster will enjoy a little bird “insect food” added to its dinner, the occasional mealworm, a small piece of plain, cooked chicken, and even a bit of boiled or scrambled egg. With both fresh food and meat, only give a small amount at a time. If you give too much and your hamster hoards it away it will quickly go bad and may cause your pet to become ill if eaten later.
