- Mix Dry Ingredients: In your mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, wheat germ, sunflower seeds, millet, and flaxseed. Mix them well.
- Add the Fruits: Gently fold in the chopped dried apple and banana into the mixture. These fruits will add a natural sweetness that hamsters love.
- Prepare for Baking: Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet. You don’t need to grease the sheet, as there’s no added fat in the mix.
- Bake the Mix: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the mixture becomes slightly golden and crunchy.
- Cooling Time: Let the cereal mix cool completely. It will get crunchier as it cools.
- Serve to Your Hamster: Offer a small spoonful of the Crunchy Hammy Cereal Mix to your hamster. Remember, treats should complement a balanced diet, not replace it.
- Storing the Cereal Mix: Store any leftover cereal in an airtight container at room temperature. It should stay fresh for up to a week.
