Directions: 1. Pour the oats into a heat-safe mixing bowl with the boiling water. Leave to soak for 5 minutes, the oats will expand and soften. 2. Chop the apple into quarters, remove the core and seeds. Grate the apple and discard the skins or leave the skins on and chop into very tiny pieces. (You can blend it in a food processor if you have one) 3. Fold the apple into the oats. 4. Finely chop the walnuts and fold into mixture. 5. Fold in the egg (or skip this step) 6. Line a baking tray and divide the mixture into similar sized balls, space evenly on the tray and flatten the top of each with the back of a spoon. 7. Bake in the oven at 180C for approx 30 minutes, or until the edges turn brown and start to crisp. 8. Leave the treats to cool before feeding. 9. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
Treats should be fed sparingly as party of a healthy, balanced and species-appropriate diet. Recommend limit of no more than one Apple and Walnut Bite per day
Suitable for elderly hamsters and those who require softer foods due to dental problems.
Be cautious when feeding to hamsters prone to diabetes, apples are a healthy snack but too much at once may cause a blood sugar spike. To avoid unwanted health problems fruit snacks should be offered infrequently and only in very small amounts.
Also suitable for mice, rats, dogs, and some other omnivorous pets.
Not suitable for strict herbivores or strict carnivores.

1) Dried sphagnum moss - found in the reptile/amphibian section of most pet shops and in various online stores.
2) Uncoated wire mesh - found in most hardware stores and some garden/landscaping centres. "Uncoated" means plain silver coloured mesh without any plastic or rubber covering the wire. Chicken wire can be used for creating more intricate designs but may not be strong enough for platforms, ramps or bridges.
3) Wire cutters - If you don't already own a pair you can find them in any hardware/tool shops for a low cost.
Difficulty 1/5 Mess 4/5
Time: Assembling can take as little as 20 minutes but allow a few days for drying time. You can speed up drying by putting the finished items in an oven (on a tray) at 75C - 100C for several hours. The number of hours will vary depending on the size of the items and the thickness of the moss layers. The moss must be allowed to dry fully as wet moss may encourage mould growth.

#hamstercare #organizationHow I Spot Clean My 1300in² DIY Hamster Cage | Syrian Hamster CareSomethingAnimal2022-07-31 | Check out our merch store! 👉 hamsterpie.com 🐹 • My cleaning routine for this cage is to do light spot cleaning a couple of times a week, and a big spot clean (shown in the video) about once every 7-10 days. The big spot clean takes me about 15 minutes maximum. A deep clean isn't needed yet as Lemonade has only been living in this set up for one month as of this video, but when it is eventually needed I'll film that process too. I typically use the 1/3 method for deep cleaning hamster cages.
Lemonade is a longhaired cream banded syrian who was about 3-4 months old when this video was filmed. The video captures a lot of brand new experiences for her, including her first time in a sand bath, first time on a wheel, first attempt at burrowing and her first time being in a well sized and enriching enclosure.
