The Trick or Treat Trove

The complete Hamster Helper Halloween collection in one enormous box of treats, chews, botanicals and boredom breakers.

The Trick or Treat Trove contains one of every product in the range, giving your hamster things to dig in, forage through, chew, shred, collect and completely destroy. This isn’t ordinary hamster food placed inside decorative Halloween packaging. Every product has been designed to give your hamster something they can genuinely use and enjoy.

It’s Halloween for hamsters, not just Halloween packaging for humans.

Halloween Products Made for Hamsters

Before Hamster Helper existed, I remember looking for seasonal treats for my own hamster and finding plastic pumpkins and coffins filled with ordinary seeds. They looked festive to humans, but the plastic wasn’t suitable for a hamster to use and the seeds didn’t become more enriching because they were inside a novelty container.

That experience stayed with me. If I design something for your hamster, I want your hamster to be able to genuinely interact with it.

That’s why the Trick or Treat Trove includes soil to dig in, botanicals and treats to forage for, hay to investigate, handmade toys to destroy and a boredom breaker to create yourself. Even the broom has coconut hidden in its bristles and the ghost has treats inside.

Is the Trick or Treat Trove Suitable for Hamsters?

The collection is suitable for Syrian, dwarf, Chinese and Roborovski hamsters, subject to the important information below.

All food and botanical ingredients have either been pre-frozen at -20°C for at least 48 hours or have already been through a heating or freeze-drying process.

Important Safety Information

• Frightful Flower Forage contains red clover and is not recommended for pregnant or nursing hamsters.

• The dried amaranth in Bewitched Hay Blend has a naturally firm, prickly texture and can feel scratchy when handled. Handle it gently and place it into the enclosure in loose handfuls.

• Food can develop mould when left in damp soil. Use the Graveyard Dirt Topper sparingly, check the area regularly and remove any pieces that become damp, begin to spoil or show any sign of mould.

• Check the handmade chews regularly and remove them if they become wet or soiled. Trim or remove any long, loose pieces of twine created during enthusiastic destruction.

• Hay should be used as additional enrichment rather than as a replacement for a deep layer of suitable burrowing substrate.

The treat mixtures and edible toppers are complementary foods and should be offered alongside your hamster’s usual balanced diet.

Store all unused products in a cool, dry place.
