Can a hamster eat mustard greens?

Yes, hamsters can eat mustard greens in moderation. They are a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber.

However, it's important to keep these things in mind:

* Moderation is key: Mustard greens are high in oxalates, which can be harmful to hamsters in large quantities. A small piece, about the size of a hamster's nail, is plenty.

* Wash thoroughly: Always wash mustard greens thoroughly to remove any pesticides or dirt.

* Introduce slowly: Like any new food, introduce mustard greens to your hamster gradually. Start with a tiny piece and monitor for any adverse reactions.

* Variety is important: Mustard greens are just one part of a healthy hamster diet. Make sure your hamster gets a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, and hamster-safe pellets.

If you have any concerns about your hamster's diet, always consult a veterinarian.
