The lettuce is safe for hamsters, but it is often not recommended in view of its low nutritional value. There are many nutrient-rich vegetables that fit hamsters much more than a salad. For example, spinach – is an excellent alternative.
Can hamsters eat walnuts, hazelnuts ?
Yes, hamsters can be given walnuts, and they love them. However, be careful, since they contain a lot of fat and should be given in rare cases and only as a treat. Walnuts also contain a lot of protein and have high nutritional value for pregnant and young hamsters. It is interesting to note that hamsters often close their eyes when eating a nut, which shows that it is very pleasant, and hamsters like its taste.
You can offer your pet a small challenge, giving him a nut in the shell. Depending on the strength of your hamster, it is likely that he will not be able to crack it, so the half-open shell of the walnut is more preferable.
Other types of nuts that can eat hamsters include cashews, peanuts, pistachios and hazelnuts. Almonds, as mentioned above, contain potassium cyanide, which can lead to the death of the animal.
