Monkey nuts are an enriching treat for small animals that encourage natural foraging behaviour by requiring them to gnaw and crack the shell to get to the peanut inside.
They also promote dental health by helping to wear down their teeth.
These roasted, unsalted nuts provide protein and healthy fats, but should be given in moderation (1-2 per week) as an occasional treat due to their fat content, especially for dwarf hamsters prone to diabetes.
