Should you give hamsters Dog Biscuits & if so, is this a good recipe for them?

I want a hamster for my birthday, so I’m doing a lot of research on them. Based on a few sources I’ve seen, Dog Biscuits are a good, healthy treat for hamsters, and they also help to wear down their teeth. Is this true?

Hi

Hamsters, first off, ARE omnivores – they eat meat (in the wild they’ll pack hunt insects).

The recipe looks great except for one thing – hamsters shouldn’t have garlic.

Otherwise it looks like a great blend. It’ll give them some protein and grains – I say go for it!

Just skip the garlic

Have fun!
