Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach washed and dried
  • 1/4 cup fresh carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh broccoli chopped
  • 1/4 whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp water add more if needed
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), so it's ready for baking.
  • Blend the Veggies: In your blender or food processor, blend the spinach, carrots, and broccoli until they form a fine mixture. You want these veggies to be easily digestible for your hamster.
  • Mix the Ingredients: Transfer the blended veggies to a mixing bowl. Add the whole wheat flour, water, and olive oil. Stir until you have a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more water.
  • Form the Veggie Sticks: On a clean surface, roll out the dough. Cut it into small, thin sticks, suitable for your hamster to hold and chew. Remember, we're catering to tiny mouths!
  • Bake the Veggie Sticks: Place the sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until they're crispy.
  • Cooling Time: After baking, let the veggie sticks cool completely. This will make them crunchier and more enjoyable for your hamster.
  • Serve Your Hamster: Offer a veggie stick to your hamster as a treat. Always supervise your pet while they're enjoying these treats to ensure safety.
  • Storing the Treats: Keep any leftover veggie sticks in an airtight container. They should stay fresh for up to a week.
