... besides uncooked ziti.
I'd not have thought of this one. Can you guys guess what it is? Hint: it's something natural; but not something that, in the wild, a hamster would EVER have access to! (Hence why I was surprised that she likes it, as nobody would ever have fed it to her before.)

I can't believe you would try that, let alone post about it.

Human Flesh?

No, not human flesh (they WOULD encounter this in the wild, Syrian desert, remember-- which is presumably inhabited by at least a few Syrians!)
No, not a USB optical mouse ;-)
h', I'm not sure I want to know what you were thinking, but no, that's not it. :-D
Hint #2: it's something that humans normally consume, e.g., not something really exotic.

No, not cauliflower, but that's a good guess. (I'd guess hamsters would like cauliflower.)
Hint #3: It's something you can buy canned or fresh.
Hint #4: Generally considered good for you, but as with anything, you shouldn't eat too much of it.

Does the whole thing fit in its mouth?

Racer X, no, not waffles!
Hint #5: it can be cooked in a variety of ways; but it's not a composite of things in the way that waffles are.
Edit: h', yes, it can fit in her mouth, in the form that I gave it to her. In its original form, no, it would not normally fit in her mouth.
Hint #6: I just checked to make sure-- not only is this safe to feed her, but is actually recommended as a possible food. Why someone would have thought to give this to a hamster is beyond me, but I'm sure it's just as nutritious for her as it is for humans.
