No clue.
What do you think? Answer below!
yeah… rodents can eat anything and be alright
I think the answer is yes (at least for hamsters), although you do have to be careful not to let them eat too much of fruits and vegetables.
And it is a LIE that rodents can eat anything- look online for a list of safe foods, and double check everything before feeding.
MissKat: Like I said, I think that the answer is yes. I did a very quick internet search that seemed to suggest that. If you found something else, thank you for taking the time to look more carefully. Like I say above, you should always double check everything. I wouldn’t feed my hamster a tomato after the amount of research that I did for this question, and I don’t think anyone else should either.
I disagree with everyone that says they can eat tomatoes. They can be potentially deadly and very dangerous. Here’s a list of food that I’ve found. Tomatoes are in the Bad Food category.
