rodentkin snacks based off hamster treats i see in pet stores

1. these things because i see a lot of honey/seed/nut/tube things

2. I’m not sure if yogurt treats are healthy for hamsters, regardless I see a lot of yogurt drop treats, and luckily they make them for babies too

I’m sure yogurt covered pretzels or raisins would also scratch that itch

3. I’ve given my hamster popped corn on the cob, I’ve never tried to pop full sized cobs of corn so I would just go for normal popcorn, but it would definitely be a fun thing to try

4. again with the baby food, which I think is a huge plus for pet regressors, is baby puff cereal :) I’ve seen puffs at pet stores that look like you slapped a different label on the gerber puffs

5. very similar to the last one, cheerios, hamsters love cheerios but can’t eat them very often due to the high sugar content. luckily, you can probably handle more sugar content than a physical hamster, so enjoy being able to munch away. this actually goes for most things on this list so far lol

6. FRUIT!! VEGGIES!! these are very accessible and very healthy, hamsters love munching on cucumber, spinach, tomato, bell pepper, banana, strawberry, apple, and a lot more

7. a more expensive option than the last, but with a much higher shelf life is dried fruit, lots of hamster treat mixes include dried strawberry, papaya, berries, banana, and a lot more

8. this one might not be obvious but of course hamsters need protein! a lot of it! hamsters can eat tofu, scrambled eggs, cooked chicken, cottage cheese, and freeze dried bugs

9. i do not recommend feeding this to a physical hamster, the high salt and oil content will cause a lot of problems. this is just a personal thing that feels very hamstery to eat- french fries!! I’ve even seen french fry shaped treats at pet stores

10. NUTS AND SEEDS!! this might have been the first thing you thought of when you read ‘hamster snacks’ I would recommend trail mix, due to the similarities to hamster food mix, as well as nuts in their shells like peanuts, pistachios, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. a lot of hamster food mixes have corn in it as well, so corn nuts can be a fun crunchy option.

BONUS! If you want the hamster snacking to be truly immersive and possibly shift inducing, I would recommend keeping a little stash of shelf stable snacks in your room (or “nest”) as this is what most healthy and or wild hamsters do to store food.
