Do you enjoy giving your Siberian hamster treats? If so, make sure you talk with your vet or local pet store associate ahead of time to determine the best snack options for your hamster. Some veterinarians believe the best treats for hamsters are the foods that they may eat in the wild. For example, fresh vegetables such as carrots, squash, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, romaine lettuce, spinach and other greens generally make excellent treats for hamsters. It’s important to remember to feed treats in moderation and not to use them as meal replacements. Ask your vet how much a typical serving of fresh veggies might be. Your Siberian hamster may also enjoy fresh fruits like apples, pears, bananas, grapes and most berries. If you want to give your hamster a variety of treats, remember to check with your veterinarian Somerville, MA first. Some treats can cause illnesses or even stomach upset.
