Question
Hi, thanks for answering my previous question. I had bought Scruffy those pouchy little puff treats and she seems not to be eating them. I heard your supposed to cut up vegetables and fuits, so I had cut up pieces of celery and carrots, but shes not eating that either. Whats wrong?

Answer
Is she eating anything at all and is she active or acting normal otherwise. I know that my hamster is the pickiest hamster in the world. he will only eat those honey bars and those munchables shred-a-box. I can't get him to eat anything else. He will pick it up nibble it and throw it out the cage. Mine loves the taste of sweet things for some reason like granola too. If she's not eating anything at all like her food and she's not drinking water than chances are she is sick. Don't panic just yet though. If you notice that she is drinking water and she feels warm and she is eating her food she could just be a picky hamster like mine.
