Give your ham a special treat - a piece of lettuce! Feeling like giving them an EXTRA special treat? How about a piece or two of “fancy salad mix” (you can usually buy bags called something like this at the grocery store, they often include things like raddichio, arugula, baby spinach, etc.)? The hamster may not be able to tell that it’s fancier, but you’ll feel proud of having spent extra money on your ham. (But not too big - too much “moist” food (any fresh fruits or vegetables) is unnatural for a hamster (their diet normally consists primarily of grain and seeds, with only occasional berries or leafy greens and even if they do find a fallen apple small enough that it can be carried back to the burrow such things are often dried to store for winter) and can cause diarrhea, which can be fatal for hamsters. (images by nunahamster on instagram)
