Apple & Walnut Bites, homemade hamster treats suitable for all hamsters.
More info below:
• Ingredients & Quantities •
___________________________
Large Batch (50+)
100g oats
1 apple
30g walnut
200ml boiling water
1 - 2 large eggs (optional)
___________________________
• Medium Batch (20 - 30) •
50g oats
1/2 apple
20g walnut
100ml boiling water
1 large egg (optional)
___________________________
• Small Batch (10 - 15) •
25g oats
1/4 apple
10g walnut
50ml boiling water
___________________________
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.

When i use to give my hamster a treat he always offered to share with me n it was the most cutest thing ever the way he put little chunk of treat in my hand n eat the rest
They look so good I can put honey or something and have them myself! Then me and my babies can have snack time together❤️
Jejeje I was thinking te same.
Oh yess these are so cute like little hamster cookies 🍪 Lemonade was fashionably chill as always casually stashing away the treat never to be seen again 😌
I was foolishly optimistic about getting footage of her eating it despite knowing full well that she almost never eats out in the open 🥲
How often do you give these to her@@SomethingAnimal
I cannot wait to make some treats for our Alfredo! Few ingredients, easy steps…my kinda recipe. Great video! 🍋
Thank you, hope Alfredo enjoys it! (fantastic name choice btw!)
I love Lemonade so much! She's so cute and determined even though that treat is bigger than her head 🥺
Perfect look for a hamster burger
Hi ollie, just gonna leave a comment to say how much you have helped me, i am almost 16 years old and watched your channel since i was 7, you have really helped me with animal care and given me some laughs in times i need it most!
The Lemon Deity has accepted the cookie offering and graced us with her presence!
Maaaa it's time to wake up, new Ollie video dropped!
All jokes aside, I may not have a hamster yet but having all these resources up front so I can give the hamster the best life possible from the start is just amazing. Especially seeing these kind of simple treats you can essentially make anywhere in the world.
P.s. we got the exact same "cheese" grader 😂
Great recipe my hamster loved it and it's throwing on it !!!!!!!
I can't wait to try this! Thank you for the recipe, Ollie! It was wonderful to see the Lemon God, as well 💖
I've come back to this channel after several years (I just adopted mice) and I'm happy that we both have realized who we are :) Your videos are super helpful and informative as always, thank you Ollie
My Hamster couldn't stop eating her cookie. 😂
Fantastic. Lemonade is lovely.
Omg yummmmm, it's been long since we caught lemonade. She's adorable
these are such nice littel treats. im going to have to try this.
amazing ;) I will have to try this out
this is SO cute omg, what a lucky hamster ;w;
She is soooo cute!!!
I love this :)
These are so cute! Also, they make me want to make them for myself since I don't have a hamster lol
awww can't wait to try these later for my old man! 🥰
I may not have hamsters anymore but god do I still love your videos :)
Also, the aesthetics of this video (your videos in general tbh) are immaculate. I wanna live in those comfy vibes!
Also, adding a frog face to this comment just because it's cute: 🐸🐸 (added two froggos cause they need friends too)
Thank you for the video 💕 also i read the terrible earthquake reached Cyprus as well, i hope you and your family are ok, stay safe ❤️
Thank you ❤️ We were very fortunate that the quake and aftershocks haven't cause serious damage here, we've experienced a lot of strong, scary shaking and mini tsunamis in the northern part of the island but as far as I know there haven't been any injury reports. Unfortunately many people here have family and friends in Turkey, so there's a lot of grieving and emotional suffering. It's been heartbreaking to witness the devastation the quake has caused for our neighbour countries, and there's a lot of fear that there will be another large one in the next 6 months 😔
@@SomethingAnimal I'm had to hear your area wasn't hit too severely, everything about this situation is truly heartbreaking 💔
I'm just now rediscovering this channel after about five years of not watching. I'm out of the loop - has Ollie started transitioning? Genuine question, as I'm transitioning too
Nice to see that oven working 👌🏼
I wish I could say it works fully, but only the grill setting functions now so we have to be super careful not to burn everything we cook 😂
💛
I wish I could've done this when my hams were still alive. Someday 😥
I’d make then small lil balls for dwarfs, that’s a big cookie even for Lemonade 😂instead of chopped nuts, I’ll use peanut butter and honey😋
love these videos! ❤❤❤
He there. I love your videos so much. Do you know by any chance if corn is unhealthy for hamsters. I’ve heard it is and most of the healthy raw food that I buy for hamsters has corn in it
😍🐹🍪👍
Could use boil kettle water
i want to make this for ME lol
Or healthy people treats. 😉
I recommend using more apple and adding some honey or brown sugar to bring out the flavour if you make it for yourself! :)
I was thinking they look good enough to eat!
can i use oats or nestum cause i dont have almond
*Sounds* wonderful. See what I did there?
Is egg optional
I imagin thease can also be eaten by humans?
Yes but you may want to add some honey or brown sugar to sweeten it up :)
Is this safe for dwarf hamsters?
Yes! Though I recommend making them a little smaller so your hamster doesn't eat too much fruit in one snack :)
Did you try one? I'd prob end up eating most of them
I did try one, and I wouldn't be willing to try another without adding some honey or brown sugar to the mix 😂 but I've always preferred sweet over savoury so that might be why!
Madame! Excuse me, NO you cannot stuff the whole thing in your face!
Whaff? *cheeks full of cookies*
