I am going away for 3 days and although my neighbour is calling in to check on all my animals my OH thought it would be a good idea to give the hammies some cucumber for extra water intake. Has anyone ever given their hammies cucumber? I normally only ever give them dried food as they can get diarrhoea if they have too many greens.

Hi Daisymoo, I always supliment my hamsters diets with some fresh food every day, this list Hamster Treats. is fantastic as it contains all the safe foods. Cucumber is one that you have to be careful with though as too much can upset their tummys. I might be tempted to leave them a good supply of water and maybe a piece of carrot but tbh if they arent used to fresh foods I wouldnt try them with them till you are home to supervise.

Thanks, I think I will leave it until I get back I am going to fill their water bottles up and feed them just before I leave so they should be ok. As I said my neighbour is popping in but I just worry I am sure you know what I mean

I give her a little bit but like they said too much can upset their stomachs. Just wait until you come home
