Pet's info: Small Animal | Hamster | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 12 days old
Hi! I would like to know if dog chews/biscuits are suitable for hamsters to chew at, as I've read and watched on YouTube several people recommending them. If not, what are the best options I can give my hamster so she keeps her teeth nice and doesn't ingest something bad? My boyfriend bought some seed covered sticks specifically made for hamsters, but I read on the ingredients it has added sugar, so I don't think it is the best for her...

It is very difficult for us to recommend products when we don't know what is available to you in your country. Here in the US we would recommend products like these: ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/kaytee-timothy-hay-baked-apple-small-animal-treats ) ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/oxbow-15-oz-oxbow-alfalfa-hay ) ( ) I don't think dog biscuits are the best option.
