Dog biscuits..

So I've heard I should give my hamster (which I should have in 2 weeks ) dog biscuits as a source of protein. I found these;

Bonio Dog Biscuits with Chicken 1kg | Pets at Home

Are these OK? I will need to buy them from P@H as that's where I'm buying my hamster supplies from, I'd rather do one big shop then 10 small shops ;P

Thanks BTW if they're not can you please post some suitable ones, thank you!!

EDIT: http://www.petsathome.com/shop/large...-at-home-13102

Found these, they seem to be cheaper and it says "High protein" this would be good right?

Apparently peanut butter is very very bad for them, or so I've heard.

and yes I'll buy them and give her a piece, if she doesn't like them I do have a dog so he can have them ^.^

Re: Dog biscuits..

I've given hamsters dog treats in the past they have always loved them I used to break one up into 3 bits then give them or scatter them over the cage

You should never feed peanut butter to hamsters as they can pouch it and then it gets stuck and start to rot

Bonios are fine for hammies, here is a pick of Milo trying to pouch one LOL

Re: Dog biscuits..

All of mine have bonios. They are bigger than the robos, but the robos don't seem to mind. The syrians drag theirs round their cages before demolishing them. It helps wear their teeth down.

Re: Dog biscuits..

I give my mice and rats puppy bones, a good source of protein (but not too much) and calcium. They love them

I can only assume it would be good for hammies as well.

Re: Dog biscuits..

Yeah used to be just the rats...but now give hammies Bonio Puppy Milk biccies. The rats love em but hamsters will nibble a bit but then leave....break them up though cos unlike Bernie's Heavy-Weight Champion...I've found mine can't be bothered to lug them around
