Health & WellnessHow can I bond with my new hamster using treats safely?
Hello, and congratulations on your new hamster! Bear is such a cutie! I think it is just fine to give her small amounts of veggies and fruits to get her bonded to you. However, I would stick to no more than a few small pieces each day, and reserve the rest of her diet as hamster pellets (ideally with no extra nuts or seeds). This will ensure she does not get too fat!
I hope this helps, and that Bear is doing well!
