Leftover hamster food?

[Brightdays]

Can I toss the ladies the hamster chow our hamster leaves behind? Mostly millet and a few other seeds. They’d probably like it but I’m a newbie and want to make sure first. Thanks

Yes.

My guess is yes. Ideally you'd have a list of ingredients but I know chickens are cross compatible with rat food, and hamsters aren't that far off in terms of diet.

perfect. We do feed the hamster rat pellets too. But the hamster eats all those. The main food we’d be tossing out is the seeds she doesn’t like she takes out all the good stuff the dried fruit and nuts.

As long as it is a small part of their diet then it is fine.
I would worry if they ate tons due to the vitamin spray they put on different feeder seeds, the ratios might not be ideal since it was formulated for rodents.

Yummy!

Yes, you can feed hamsters and rats to chickens.

Wait, maybe I misread the question...

Absolutely! When I run out of meal worms, I give my chickens the Premium Hamster food as a treat. They love it.

So long as it is clean and free of urine and feces.

Oh yes. It's clean and premium Organic
