Feel like spoiling your hamster once in a while? As with any domestic pet, special treats are available for hamsters from your pet store. They come in colorful packets and could easily be mistaken for treats you and I would eat. However, as with any special treat, moderation is the key; these treats are tasty for a reason, and that reason has a name: sugar! Too much sugar can cause obesity in your hamster, so reserve these treats for the odd occasion.



In addition to store-bought treats, other food items can be given to your hamster every now and then. These include:

Safe Treats

* Nuts
* Shelled Almonds
* Beechnuts
* Brazil Nuts
* Cashews
* Hazel Nuts
* Pecans
* Peanuts
* Pistachios
* Sweet Chestnuts
* Walnuts
* Meat (always make sure it’s fully cooked)
* Bread or Toast
* Fish (again, fully cooked)
* Eggs (scrambled or boiled, not fried)
* Raisins and Prunes
* Cheese
* Crickets and Mealworms
* Cheese
* Dog Biscuits





Avoid the following treats:



Unsafe Treats

* Chocolate
* Onions
* Raw Kidney Beans
* Candy
* Toffee
* Buttercups



Just remember, a balanced diet consisting of hamster mix, some fresh fruit and veggies introduced gradually, and the occasional treat go a very long way to ensuring a healthy and happy hamster.
