How to Make DIY Hamster Strawberry Yogurt Drops at Home

Looking for an easy snack to make at home for your hamster? While hamsters can eat a variety of fruits and vegetables as treats, this homemade yogurt drop recipe offers something a little different.

DIY Hamster Strawberry Yogurt Drops

Ingredients:

• ½ cup plain, low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 fresh strawberries

Supplies:

• Small bowl
• Spoon
• Small plastic baggie
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper

Directions:

• Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Puree strawberries in a blender or mash them by hand.
• Mix strawberry puree into the yogurt.
• Place the yogurt mixture in a plastic bag and snip off the lower corner.
• Squeeze small drops onto the parchment paper.
• Freeze for at least 3 hours.
• Remove from the freezer and place drops into a freezer-safe container.
• Feed one to two* treats per day; store the rest in the freezer for up to two months.
  

*While these can be tasty, remember that treats should make up no more than 10% of your pet's total diet.

Pro tip: These DIY treats are a take on treats like Kaytee's Fiesta Strawberry Yogurt Chips and Vitakraft's Drops with Strawberry, so, if you don't feel like DIYing a treat, you can always pick up a bag to have on hand.
