Of course, we checked it on the Internet first and found out that dairy is good for hamsters in small amounts. There are even yogurt drops you can buy as treats. We just used a little bottle cap from a jam jar and filled it with grandma’s unsweetened natural yogurt, and Centex the Golden Hamster loved it!! He has grown quite a bit already from the day we got him in January 2024. He’s also more secure now and feels safe in his surroundings, letting us watch him up close when he’s feeding.
He made a little poopy in his yogurt dish, but no worries, we took it out right afterwards, and he got a fresh one the next morning. You can see him dashing towards his food bowl here:
