Can I feed my hamster cooked brown rice?

Question

That sounds kinda good to me right now, speaking of which...

Answer 1

Yup, there should be no problem. Just as long as it's cooked.

Answer 2

totally! just don't salt it though. :)

Answer 3

Yes - cooked, not raw. S/he won't need a lot of it as s/he will stuff it in his/her cheeks and probably stash it - so make sure it doesn't rot in the cage somewhere.  You can even mix in some veggies with the rice, or something as a treat.
