Equipment

  • Small knife
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Fork or small masher

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 ripe banana
  • 1/2 tsp oat flour
  • A tiny sprinkle of ground flaxseed for that extra bit of nutrition

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Banana: Start by peeling half a ripe banana. Make sure it's ripe enough for easy mashing but not overly ripe.
  • Mash the Banana: In your small bowl, mash the banana with a fork or masher until it's smooth. We want a nice, creamy texture for those tiny tongues.
  • Add Oat Flour: Sprinkle the oat flour into the mashed banana and stir until well combined. The oat flour helps in creating a more manageable texture and adds a bit of dietary fiber.
  • Include Flaxseed: Add a tiny sprinkle of ground flaxseed to the mix. This is great for an omega-3 boost, supporting healthy skin and fur.
  • Shape the Slices: Using your fingers, shape small, thin slices or small bite-sized pieces from the banana mixture. Keep them appropriate for your hamster's size.
  • Serve with Love: Offer a small piece of the Sweet Dream Banana Slice as a treat. This should be given as a part of their balanced diet.
  • Store Any Extras: If there are any leftovers, you can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.

Notes

SnuggleTips for Hamster Care:
  • Fresh is Best: Always opt for fresh, ripe fruits for your hamster treats to ensure the best quality and nutrients.
  • Moderation Matters: Treats should be a small part of your hamster's diet. Balance these banana slices with their regular food.
  • Hydration Station: Ensure your hamster always has access to clean, fresh water, especially when introducing new foods.
