Yummy Homemade Hamster Treat Recipe!

A lot of times, sugar is one of the first ingredients of pet store treats. It's rare to find a healthy treat, one that doesn't have artificial colours or those ingredients you have no clue of. Do you want a cheaper option, and one that is healthy for your furry friend? Then here's a recipe I've tried myself and are a big success with my hamsters. :)
*Remember treats should only be occasional, I only feed a treat like this every 1-2 months.

You Will Need:
  • 1 Teaspoon Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon broken plain (no flavour) Cheerios or sugar-free Corn Flakes
  • 1 Teaspoon Shredded Carrots
  • 1/4 Teaspoon honey (replace with olive oil for dwarfs)
  • 1/4 Teaspoon smooth Peanut Butter (no added sugar or salt)
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • Splash of Water to hold the mix together
  1. In a bowl, mix/mash in all the ingredients together with a fork. 
  2. With your hands, form the dough into a ball (if sticky, add a bit of flour and if too dry, add a bit of water)
  3. Oil a microwavable bowl lightly, and put the dough ball into it.
  4. Microwave for 1-2 minutes (make sure to check in between times, as microwave power varies) It should be dry, use a toothpick and it should come out clean.
Your hamster will stuff his cheeks! ;D
