Can I feed my hamster plain animal crackers?

Question

My Syrian hamster, Hayley, kept l*****g my fingers after I ate an animal cracker. She seems to like them, but I just need to know if she can eat them.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, animal crackers should be fine. Make sure you check the labels just to make sure it doesn't have any harmful ingredients to hamster. Also don't feed Hayley to much. Feed her in proportion.

Answer 2

They're not poisonous if that's what you mean.  I'd only give your hammie maybe the feet off your crackers while you're eating them and only occasionally.  If you give any animal too many sweets, they'll get fat which can lead to other health issues.  A bite or two every once in a while is no big deal.  I give my rats part of my pizza crust occasionally, or part of a cookie that I'm eating as a random treat.

Just use common sense.  It's not healthy for a human to eat cookies all day, and keep in mind a human is a bagillon times larger than a hamster. :D

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

Are you kidding?  A hamster?  ANIMAL crackers?  Isn't that hamster cannibalism?  ;~D

Answer 4

Of Course you can feed Hayley animal cracker but not too much of she might start having bowl problems. Try mixing them in with her food or giving to the while you are eating them.

Happy Snacking!!! :)

Answer 5

you can give your hamster alot of human food. just make sure it doesn't have alot of sugar or salt on it. plain animal crackers are fine. I'd give it to the hamster mayb, once or twice a week, and only give it alittle crumb. if you think of how small they're stomach, and mouths are, a full animal cracker is way smaller then our mouths, but even a crumb could be biggerr then the hamsters mouth. as long as you only give it alittle, about the size of your pinky nail, and only a few times a month it'll be fine. a good thing to give them is all types of vegies. they can have fruit, but only once a week. as fruit has alot of juice in it, and alot of juice in a fruit could give them dihreah, which wouldn't be good. but like, you could give them a full grape, half a thing of a lettice leaf, half of a baby cherry tomato. and that'll actually make him healthier as long as you don't give it to him too much or too often, as if you do that it'll stop eating it's food completly, and they're food has nutrition it needs.
