Is it ok for my dwraf hamster to eat a dog biscut?

Question

oh what about small apple pieces?? thx =)

Answer 1

i dont think soo but its okay  

Answer 2

Small apple pieces are okay in moderation. but remember to take out the seeds because their poisonous. dog biscuits are okay as a treat but it probably wouldn't be the treat to give him every couple days. more like every couple months.

Answer 3

1 dog biscuits a week is fine, they are a source of protein and gnawing material. 1 teaspoon of diced apples is good, but not too many fruits because dwarfs are prone to diabetes.

Answer 4

People are SO oversensitive! It is fine! hamsters are such a hardy animal that they can survive anything. Granted this would not be a meal substitute, but a little bit everyday is not going to harm or kill it or make it sick. The apple is what I would be more worried about because it has a high water content and that could cause diarrhea and possibly wet tail, which is not fun to take care of and can kill your hamster. I might be the oddball here, but I would be more worried about the apple then the dog biscuit.

Answer 5

Sure. I mean, dwarf hamsters are small so you don't want to give him the whole biscuit, but a bit of it is OK. I give my rats kibble sometimes to give them a bit of variety.

Apple is OK, too, but definitely make sure there are no seeds, because they contain cyanide which can be fatal. I'd avoid them just to be on the safe side. Things like carrots, bananas, broccoli, strawberries, romaine lettuce, etc. are all good for your hamster. :]
