Is Duck Jerky Safe for Hamsters?

Post by Willow2022 »

Hi my mom thought we should give Houdini some Duck Jerky that is made for dogs and she googled it and it said it was safe but I wanted to check here first. Btw he is a male Syrian Hamster and it would be in moderation and of course just a little bit. The pictures below show the front of the package and the ingredients in it on the back of it.

Jerky tends to have a lot salt. I'm not sure I would give that, simply because of the tiny hamster kidneys.
