Natural Monkey Nuts for Foraging Fun

Watch your hamster’s natural foraging instincts come to life with Monkey Nuts in their shells! Each nut is a mini puzzle that encourages your hamster to gnaw, crack, and retrieve the delicious peanut treasure inside. It’s more than just a treat — it’s a foraging activity, an enrichment tool, and a healthy reward all rolled into one.

These whole monkey nuts come in their shells, giving your hamster the full experience of gnawing, foraging, and problem-solving. The challenge of opening the shell provides mental stimulation, while the tasty reward inside keeps them coming back for more.

How Many Monkey Nuts Do You Get?

This pack contains approximately 75g of whole monkey nuts, which includes several whole shells packed with peanuts. Because each shell varies in size, the number of nuts may differ from pack to pack. This pack provides plenty of opportunities for your hamster to forage, crack, and enjoy.

Why Monkey Nuts Are Perfect for Hamsters

Monkey nuts aren’t just another treat — they’re an activity, a boredom breaker, and a healthy snack. Here’s why hamsters love them:
  • Natural Foraging Fun: Hamsters love to crack open the shells and retrieve the peanuts inside, which taps into their natural foraging instincts.
  • Promotes Dental Health: The hard shell encourages chewing and gnawing, which helps to wear down a hamster’s ever-growing teeth.
  • Wholesome Snack: Peanuts are a source of healthy fats and protein, providing balanced nutrition when given as an occasional treat.
  • Long-Lasting Entertainment: Unlike pre-shelled treats, monkey nuts take time to open, giving hamsters extended enrichment and activity.

How to Use Monkey Nuts for Hamster Enrichment

There are so many creative ways to use monkey nuts in your hamster’s enclosure. Here’s how to make the most of them:
  • Foraging Adventure: Hide them around the enclosure to encourage your hamster’s natural foraging instincts.
  • Boredom Breaker: Place them in the enclosure as a boredom breaker — your hamster will love cracking them open.
  • Bonding Treat: Offer one directly to your hamster during playtime or handling sessions to encourage interaction.

Some hamsters will crack open the nut as soon as they see it, while others may stash it away to enjoy later. Either way, it’s a playful and enriching experience for your furry friend.

Are Monkey Nuts Safe for Hamsters?

Yes, absolutely! Monkey nuts are completely safe for hamsters. The shell encourages natural gnawing behaviour, which supports dental health, while the peanuts inside are a source of protein and healthy fats. To avoid overfeeding, it’s best to offer monkey nuts as an occasional treat. 1-2 nuts per week is a good guideline, ensuring your hamster enjoys the treat without consuming too much fat.
