Equipment
- Small knife
- Cutting board
- Small spoon
Ingredients
- 1 leaf of romaine lettuce base for rolls
- 1/4 small carrot finely grated
- A small piece of cucumber finely chopped
- 1 small broccoli floret finely chopped
- A few fresh parsley leaves finely chopped
- A sprinkle of ground oats optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Lettuce: Wash the romaine lettuce leaf thoroughly and pat it dry. This leaf will act as the base for your veggie rolls.
- Chop the Veggies: Finely chop the cucumber and broccoli, and grate the carrot. The finer these are chopped, the easier it will be for your hamster to eat.
- Add Herbs and Binding: Mix in the chopped parsley leaves. If you find the mixture a bit loose, you can sprinkle a tiny bit of ground oats to help bind the ingredients.
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay the lettuce leaf flat on your cutting board. Spoon the veggie mixture onto one end of the lettuce leaf. Carefully roll the lettuce around the veggies to form a small, tight roll.
- Serve: Cut the roll into hamster-sized pieces, ensuring they are easy for your pet to handle.
- Feeding Time: Offer one small piece of the Fresh Springtime Veggie Roll to your hamster. Remember, treats should only be a small part of their overall diet.
- Storing Extras: If you have leftovers, they can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a day.
