Did you know that hamsters like to snack on different foods and treats? You may have even caught your hamster storing some snacks in his cheek pockets for later. Feeding treats can be fun and a way to bond with your hamster. However, it’s important to talk with your vet to ensure that treats you’re are feeding are safe. There are some foods that aren’t safe for hamsters. In general, hamsters like fruits, vegetables and some types of nuts. They can have small amounts of different things as snacks but not as meal replacements. You should not feed your hamster almonds. The skin around the almond may contain “naturally occurring” acids that are harmful if digested. If your hamster has been given almonds and you notice he is having trouble digesting them or he has diarrhea, call your vet right away. Acidic fruits should also be avoided. Call your trusted animal hospital Winneshiek County IA to know more.
