Over the last few months quite a few viewers have requested for me to make an updated hamster treat collection video for 2015 and I've been reluctant to do so for one very good reason. This is my current treat "collection"...

2.5x mini hamster corn cobs

1x pot of yoghurt/choc/berry drop crumbs

1x giant hamster donut that could easily feed 10 Syrians!

Seriously that's all I have right now!

I used to be really big on buying every treat under the sun for my hamsters and I once had an enormous treat collection. To be fair I also had 10 hamsters living with me at that time so we went through treats at a moderate rate. However when my numbers went down to just two hamsters I found that I was over-buying treats and in turn I was throwing a lot away that had gone " iffy".

So last year I stopped buying treats almost altogether (I still buy yoghurt drops from time to time) and focused on just making my own when I needed as well as relying on other more natural options like fresh vegetables and the rare bit of fruit. I used up almost all of my commercial treats and now I've just become very used to not buying them which is why my "collection" is dramatically smaller.

I plan on continuing with these habits since I find they work well for me and I'm enjoying being able to have control over the ingredients that go into my hamster treats rather than staring blankly at the list of ingredients on commercial treat packets wondering what it all means.

So there is my "hamster treat collection, 2015" for everyone who wanted to see. I doubt I'll be making any more videos on the topic for obvious reasons although looking at the speed my dog treat collection is growing you can probably expect a video for those later in the year!
