Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet or plate
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh blueberries make sure they are safe and washed properly
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh strawberries make sure they are safe and washed properly
  • 2 tsp rolled oats ground to a fine powder
  • 1 tsp hamster-safe, unsweetened coconut shreds
  • 1/2 tsp honey as a binding agent – use sparingly
  • A sprinkle of ground flaxseeds optional, for added nutrition

Instructions
 

  • Preparation: Start by washing the berries thoroughly and drying them with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture.
  • Chopping: Finely chop the fresh strawberries and blueberries, ensuring there are no large chunks that can be a choking hazard for your little one.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the finely ground rolled oats and coconut shreds. Mix them together till they are well combined.
  • Add Berries: Next, add the chopped berries to the dry mix and stir it lovingly, infusing it with warmth and care.
  • Binding: Add a touch of honey – just enough to bind the mixture without making it too sticky.
  • Form the Balls: Using your clean hands or a spoon, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into tiny balls, just the right size for your hamster to hold and enjoy. It’s a labor of love, my dears!
  • Setting: Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet or plate, and lay out the balls with a little space between each one. Let them air-dry for a few hours till they firm up slightly.
  • Serve with Love: Once they are set, you can serve these little balls of bliss to your furry family member. Watch their little cheeks puff up with delight!

Notes

My darlings, these Berry Bliss Hamster Balls should be given as a treat and not a regular meal. Be sure to introduce any new food slowly to monitor for any allergic reactions. It's always better to be safe, my little whisker-twitchers! Store the extra balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
