ACTUALLY (to above)

yes you can

cabbage, lettucce, brussel sprouts.

Can be given in small amounts to hamsters

but to much lettucce can lead too poison,liver problems & death so keep it as a treat (Lettucce) and give half a leaf after you have cleaned them out

xxx

yea they will only get a tiny bit of lettuace if we have any, I read about the liver problems etc.

Because she weighed so little and started to become quite and calm and not herself she didn't wanna take blood to see (and she had already done a giagantic wee so she wasn't due to do another 1 soon), she said from everything we told her sounded like diabetites and she gave us the option of insulin (which she would of had to of done a test then) or change the diet, and we opt for the diet because the thought of accidently over dosing and killing my lil baby broke my heart.

We've made a lil menu of foods to give them, and we're gonna choose one or 2 to use as treats because they can't really have many now LOL!!

We have a fruit stick in their - well - did!
Anyone know of anything like that that they can have??

Do you have any

Alafa (sticks,ball,chew etc)


Hamsters love alafa

Or mabey try one of them sweetcorn thingys

or mabey get a 'snak-a'shack'

or even instead of a fruit stick try a veg stick

no hamsters should not recieve green veg. I'll stick by that because i know what it does to hamsters. Try helping a hamster through wet tail and then you'll know how it feels.

A really good healthy treat for any rodent is mini shredded wheat, it's full of fibre

he's a vet.

I think once you've dealt with a ham with wet tail you shouldn't risk it with others.

They're not rabbits so it's harder for their bodies to digest/accept.

all i'm saying is that i've seen wet tail time and time again. And although it's difficult to dertermine the cause, i've asked hamster owners if they feed green veg and they've more often than not replied with a yes.

One of my hamsters had wet tail and i had to be up every 2 hours through the night with antibiotics, cleaning her cage and injecting her with a pain killer. wet tail is an incredably infectious and painful thing. 90% of hamsters will die.

In my opinion, i won't risk it. I give healthy treats that won't harm my hamsters in any way.

what is it exactly??
I just know its not nice for the hamster to go through.
