Step 1: Some ingredients are good for hamsters.
If you give your hamster treats, they will be good for it.These are foods that your hamster shouldn't eat on a daily basis, but that are good to give it every once in awhile.There are some treats that are good to give a hamster.
Step 2: Don't use ingredients that are toxic to hamsters.
Some of the foods we keep in our kitchens can be bad for hamsters as they can't process them.There are foods to keep away from your hamster.
Step 3: Your hamster needs a balanced diet.
Your hamster needs to eat a variety of foods if you want it to enjoy the hamster treats that you give it.Your hamster's main diet should be a commercial mix that is specially formulated to its needs.As a small supplement to its main diet, treats should be given.It's a good idea to give your hamster treats a bit more often.They are called "treats" because of that.If you can, give your hamster just one or two treats a day.This means only a small amount of apples and carrots in a day.They don't need a lot.
Step 4: Un eaten treats should be removed.
If your hamster doesn't eat all of its treat, you should take it to the cage.Your hamster is likely to hide because it can become spoiled.Hamsters like to hide their food, so an empty dish does not mean they have eaten everything.When you clean your hamster's cage, be sure to look for places where they have hidden food.
Step 5: Pick out ingredients.
When making treats for hamsters, it's a good idea to combine their usual food with a few additional ingredients.The recipe should make enough treats to feed a hamster for several weeks, because they should be fed a limited amount of treats.A combination of these items will give your hamster a little thrill while also giving it excellent nutrition.
Step 6: Put all ingredients together.
Stir your dry ingredients into a small bowl.Add the hot water and mix it with the rest until it forms a sticky consistency.The mixture needs to be stiff enough to form a loose shape.Add more wholegrain flour if the mixture is too watery.
Step 7: You can make the shapes you want.
Your hamster will find it hard to eat a treat that is too big.The recipe should make at least a dozen treats.When you're done shaping your treats, put them on a microwaveable plate.You can shape the mix into cute little shapes.You will be able to watch your hamster eat its treats.
Step 8: Put the treats in the microwave.
Make sure to turn the treats over at the halfway point.This will assure that they are cooked to order.The flour from cooking the treats is used to make the treat solid.When turning over the treats and removing the plate from the microwave, be careful.It will be very hot.You could bake the treat on a baking sheet at a low temperature.The goal is for them to solidify but not to brown, so keep an eye on them while they are in the oven.Let it be cool!You're done!
Step 9: Put together ingredients.
The ingredients for this recipe can change a lot.A combination of fruits, nuts, and vegetables is what your hamster likes to eat.The treat will be more exciting for the hamster if it is combined with several types of veggies.You can use apples, bananas, and cantaloupe.Chestnuts, cashews, pistachios, sunflower seeds, and walnuts are some of the nuts you could use.You could use vegetables like broccoli, corn, cucumber, and dandelion leaves.
Step 10: The oven should be at 350 degrees.
It is important to cook the treats thoroughly because you are using eggs.A well cooked treat will hold its shape and will not make a mess when the hamster tries to eat it.
Step 11: Vegetables are Grated.
Pick the amount of veggies you want your hamster to eat.If you shred them, they will become small pieces.It will make it easier for the hamster to eat the egg.You can use any type of grate.If you don't have a food processor, chop the veggies until they are small.
Step 12: Put one large egg in a cup or bowl.
The whites need to be combined with the egg.The consistency of your hamster egg treat will be improved by this.If you want to beat the egg quickly, you don't need an egg beater.If you want to whip the egg, use a fork.
Step 13: Put a small amount of veggies in a mini muffin tray.
The baking cups that work the best are the ones that hold less than two ounces per muffin cup.These cups will make your treats small.It's not a good idea to give your hamster a lot of oil or butter, which would be used to grease a traditional pan, if you use a non-stick baking tray.
Step 14: Eggs are put over veggies.
The veggies should be covered with an egg.You should leave room at the top of the cup for the eggs to cook.Give each cup of veggies and eggs a stir so that the eggs and the veggies are thoroughly combined.
Step 15: Take 15-20 minutes to bake.
The treats are done when the egg is cooked.This can be done by sticking a toothpick or skewer into the center of a cup.The cups are cooked if the skewer is clean.Keep in mind to give your hamster a small amount of treats every day.
Step 16: You have to collect ingredients.
The peanut butter treats include the hamster's regular food, seeds, and a chew stick.The sticks are available at almost any pet store.The chew sticks are made to wear down the hamster's teeth so that they don't get overgrown.It is important for your hamster's health.You will need different amounts of ingredients.If you only want to make one or two hamster treats, you will only need a small amount of food and peanut butter.
Step 17: Put peanut butter on the chew sticks.
This can be accomplished by dipping the chews into a container of peanut butter or using a knife.This can be a messy process, so keep that in mind before you start.
Step 18: The peanut butter covered sticks should be eaten with regular food.
If you want enough surface area to roll the sticks around, combine the seeds and food on a plate or other dish.To cover the whole surface, place the peanut butter covered sticks into the seeds and food.If you want to make sure that all surfaces are covered evenly, you can lay the sticks on the surface of the seed mixture, grab some mixture in your hand, and then sprinkle it onto the top side of a stick.
Step 19: Sticks should be placed in the freezer.
You can put the chewing sticks in the freezer by placing them on a plate or pan.Place the pan in the freezer.Depending on your freezer, this takes an hour or two.It will be easier to handle the treats when they are frozen.They would be a mess.
Step 20: Give your pet one of the treats.
If you tie the treat up, it will dangle in your hamster's cage.The hamster needs to do some work to get to it.It's possible that the hamster has to climb in the cage to get the treat or that it needs to be on its hind legs.If you make a lot of peanut butter treats, keep the extras in the freezer.If you want to give your hamster a treat, you need them to stay firm.
