What are flax seeds?
Flax seeds, also known as linseed, are small, smooth seeds harvested from the flax plant.
They are the same seeds found in flax sprays, making them a great option for hamsters who already enjoy this popular enrichment item.
Their small size makes them ideal for scattering, mixing into food, or using as part of enrichment setups.
