Is it okay for hamster to eat rabbit food?

Question

thanks

please answer only if you know

Answer 1

I don't think it's safe cuz there might be something inside meant only for rabbits.

Answer 2

You mean rabbit treats? Yes. They can't eat rabbit food as their main diet, but if they are treats directed at rabbits they are probably fine.

Answer 3

yes, I have done it before and they are fine!

Answer 4

Is that Kaytee Yogurt Chips?

Then it is perfectly fine to give to hamsters.

This is kinda funny but companies give similar products different packaging to position for different animals. The product you have bought is similar to Kaytee Yogurt chips for hamsters too.

Check both the product ingredients - it is almost the same!

Of course, in the future, be careful about other rabbit products since not all products might be the same like the above.

Also, remember these are only treats, so feed the hamster only one every two days since the rabbit chips might be bigger than the hamster chips.

Answer 5

if it's they'e treats, yes. it's fin fr them to eat ost of they're treats. but if it's they're actual food, no it is not okay. that's why they have certain food for different rodents. if you feed a hamster rabbit food it could make the hamster very sick. but if it's rabbit TREATS, then it's fine. just keep a close eye on your hamster the whole day or two after it eats it.

Answer 6

It's best to get hamster food for it because they need different nutrient's.
