Safe or Unsafe (Haven't bought YET)

[Dforhammies]

They love fresh veg Just a tiny bit every day so she eats it all otherwise they tend to pouch and hoard it, and you don't want it going rotten under the bedding somewhere! Rule of thumb is a piece no bigger than their ear or about 1cm cubed size (which is very slightly bigger usually). I tend to give something different every two or three days - so maybe cucumber one day, broccoli the next, baby corn the day after and so on. Some people give a small piece of bell pepper or spinach or cauliflower. There's a list of safe fruit and veg on the article below

I will be buying some of these soon- Maybe in December, once I secure the hamster I am going to buy/adopt. Finding the hamster is the hardest part though lol but I hope to have my hamster in January. I definitely need more items so I might send some soon.

No luck finding one yet? That must be frustrating.

I saw youtuber Hopping hammy saying how hard it was to buy hamsters in her area. She has ended up with 2. A wonderful long haired syrian and a cute little black with some white dwarf. She gives them the most incredible habitats.

Looks like your hamster is going to be very well catered for! Hope you can find one sooon.

Some items I picked out I'll use less hides and chambers and more food and snacks now lol
I would really appreciate if someone reviewed over these items and told me if they are safe to use and/or different products. If its not too much trouble. Thanks, Dforhammies

They all look fine, although I'm not familiar with that hamster food - is that Nitangel as well? Edit - yes it is I just looked it up and the ingredients look very good. The protein is only 15% so that would need supplementing a bit with some fresh food (eg chopped hard boiled egg, nuts, freeze dried chicken) one of those maybe 2 or 3 times a week I don't know how much it costs, but when I found it on Amazon uk it was £24.64! Which is really expensive for hamster food. That's the equivalent of $32. Maybe it costs more in the Uk due to import taxes though.
