Sunflowers seeds

Question
hey, havent asked you a question for like a week now lol but things
come up n we found ot that our hamsters REALLY like sunflowers
seeds and when we replace there food they both come to the food
bowl and shove all the sunflowers seed n there mouths hahaha...n
their food quickly runs out of sunflowers seeds so we were just
wondering if we could feed them normal sunflower seeds ( the  
ones you can buy at 7 11 or Mac's or some other store) yeah...and
queen recovered from wet tail but we havent been able to find a vet
to take her too but as soon as we find one we will. Anyways thanks
again
Sincerely, savneet

Answer
Hello again Savneet,

Yes hamsters really do like their sunflower seeds and it is alright to give them a couple extra as a treat once in awhile but too many sunflower seeds may cause your hamsters to become overweight.

I'm glad to hear that Queen is doing better!


Thanks for writing!
