I gave one rat treat each to my hamsters by mistake, will they die?

Question

I just noticed when I looked at the package. One only ate about half and the other ate one quarter. I also just bought them today and I'm scared that I poisened them. They seem normal, they are active and behave normally when I hold them. None of them have thrown up or have had any stomach problems. I gave it to them, around 2:45 pm today so... And they are dwarf hamsters. The brand of the rat treat is the Living World Drops honey flavour. And I can't go to a vet, which will make it worse if the hamsters have been poisoned. So please help!

Answer 1

The yogurt drops are not poison, but be careful next time.  Dwarf hamsters are prone to diabetes and sugary treats are big no-no.  They should be fine this time around, but avoid it in the future.

Answer 2

dont worry there fine..

Answer 3

IT's fine. I think it's actually healthier since most hamster treats are overly fatty. Rat treats are usually better since obesity is common in rats.

Answer 4

They are okay for now but just be careful next time. What I mean by for now is if you keep feeding them those they could be poisinous. Although most treats are for both so maybe but i wouldn't risk your hamsters life when you could just get anouther type of treat. So next time read the label.

Answer 5

Their going to be fine, don`t worry or stress out! Rats are quite similar to hamsters and plus it would only be harmful if there was an ingredient in it that is dangerous to hamsters. You only fed one so there isn`t much of a chance of it being posioned only if it ate it in large amounts and it had a posiouns ingredient.

Answer 6

They will be fine. Those treats differ mostly in size from rodent to rodent. They most likely liked it so they didn't finish the treat off so they could have more for later.
