Question
Dear Tammy,
My hamster is not chewing and her teeth are getting too long! I need advice on what to give her to chew on! My hamster is extremly picky so please HELP! Please hurry, I need your help! I love my hamster Co-Co so much and I couldent bear to loose her! HURRY! HURRY! HURRY, PLEASE!

Answer
Hi Chelsea,

the best thing to get for your hamster to chew on are the really hard dog biscuits which are sold in most shops.  The are ussually bone shaped and are very hard but only small and are sold as dog treats - put one of these in the cage every week and she should chew on it.

Kind Regards,

Tammy
