Equipment
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Cheese grater
- Mixing bowl
- Wax paper
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup fresh broccoli finely chopped
- 1 tbsp cheddar cheese grated low-fat
- 1 tsp wheat flour
- 1/4 tsp water if needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Broccoli: Wash the broccoli thoroughly and chop it into very fine pieces, ensuring they are small enough for your hamster to eat safely.
- Grate the Cheese: Use the cheese grater to grate the cheddar cheese. Opt for a low-fat variety to keep it healthier for your hamster.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped broccoli with the grated cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the mixture, which will help bind the bites together.
- Forming the Bites: If the mixture is too dry, add a small amount of water to help it stick together. Mix until you have a dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Bites: Take tiny amounts of the mixture and roll them into small, pea-sized balls. These should be appropriately sized for your hamster to handle and chew on.
- Setting the Bites: Place the formed bites onto a sheet of wax paper. They will firm up a bit as they stand, making them easier for your hamster to pick up.
