Hey guys! It's Em, and today I am joined by my little hamster Wookie Latte,

大家好，我是 Em，今天的影片加入了一隻小倉鼠 Wookie Latte

who's a little bit shy, and we're going to be talking about hamster nutrition.

牠有點害羞，我們今天要談談倉鼠的營養資訊

"Hamshter"? "Hambshter"?

昌鼠？蒼鼠？

"Hamster" nutrition.

倉鼠營養

[sped-up voice] He is my rescue hamster, and I say "rescued" because he was found outdoors in a park

(語調加速) 牠是隻援救倉鼠，我說「援救」是因為牠是在公園發現的

in a box, by a friend of mine who walks dogs for a living.

在一個箱子裡面，我朋友在溜狗時發現的

[back to normal speed] Now, a lot of people think that hamsters only eat seeds and nuts

(回到正常語速) 許多人會認為，倉鼠只吃種糧、堅果

because that's typically what you find when you go and buy a seed mix from the stores.

因為那是通常你去寵物店買混合種糧時會發現的

Hamsters are actually omnivores. They can eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and even some meat.

其實倉鼠是雜食動物，牠們可以吃各種蔬菜、水果、穀物甚至一些肉類

Typically when you go to the pet store, you tend to find something that looks like this:

通常你去寵物店，你會找一些這樣的東西

Basically a bag of food with a seed and mixed grain.

基本上是一袋混合種子與穀物的食物

But what a lot of pet shops fail to tell you is that hamsters are actually omnivorous.

但大部分寵物店沒告訴你的是，倉鼠其實是雜食性動物

They eat a whole plethora of foods: everything from fruit, vegetables, to the usual seed,

牠們可以吃的東西太多了：舉凡蔬菜、水果到常見的種糧

and yes, even a little bit of meat, too.

還有，沒錯，甚至是一些肉類也吃

So I'm here today to talk to you a little bit about hamster nutrition.

所以今天我們要來談談有關倉鼠的營養

It is quite important to switch up the diet a little bit,

稍微轉換日常飲食是很重要的

because if you're just feeding seeds and nuts and cereals, it can get a little bit boring.

因為如果你只是餵種糧、堅果跟穀物，牠會覺得有點無聊

And they're gonna have optimum nutrition if you give a little bit of variation.

但你如果加入一些變化，牠們營養可以更均衡

Put it this way: it's kind of like living off of cereal for the whole of your life,

設身處地的想想：就像你一輩子都得吃穀物過活

even though that you're an omnivore. Would you do that?

即使你是雜食動物，你會怎麼做？

No, so please don't do it to your hamster.

不要。所以請不要這樣對待你的倉鼠

This is for Syrian hamsters, and also for Syrian hamsters who don't have diabetes.

這次內容是有關敘利亞倉鼠的飲食，也是給沒有糖尿病的敘利亞倉鼠

if your Syrian hamster has diabetes, please consult your vet.

如果你的敘利亞倉鼠有糖尿病，請跟你的獸醫諮詢

or if you think that your Syrian hamster might have diabetes

或是如果你覺得你的敘利亞倉鼠可能有糖尿病

or any other hamster you keep, please consult your vet.

或是你養的是其他種類的倉鼠，請諮詢你的獸醫

So, grains and nuts. A couple of things that I keep in the house

所以，穀物與堅果。我放在家裡的

that I like to feed to Wookie Latte - in small portions, mind you -

我喜歡拿來餵 Wookie Latte 的是—提醒你是一小部分—

are his usual seed, which I scatter feed, which means I don't just put it in a bowl.

是常見的種子，我會分散來放，意思是我不會放在碗裡

I kind of scatter it because it means he has to go and look for it,

我分散來放代表牠要去尋找

and that gives him a bit of enrichment.

給牠一些充實感

Kind of gives him a bit more excitement when it comes to his regular day-to-day activities

就像在牠日常生活中添加一些刺激的事物

and always having something on a plate. He has to actually go and find his seeds.

讓牠不總是吃碗裡的食物，牠要確實地去尋寶

I give him a mixture of sunflower seeds, he sometimes has flax seed.

我給牠向日葵種子混合物，有時候也有亞麻種子

You can also feed a little bit of pistachio,

你也可以餵一些開心果

you can feed a little bit of walnut.

一些胡桃也可以

Remember, walnut is very, very fattening, so only feed a little bit of walnut at a time.

記得，胡桃很容易使牠發胖，所以一次只要餵一些些就好

Everything in moderation. Moderation is the key.

凡事剛好就好，恰當是關鍵

Some other grain-type foods, carbohydrates, that you can feed to your hamster,

一些你家可能就有的穀類食物、碳水化合物，你可以拿去餵你的倉鼠

which you might have around the house: little bits of cooked pasta or spaghetti.

像是煮熟的義大利麵

Now, I know that sounds weird, but honestly, they love it as a treat.

我知道聽起來很怪，但老實說，牠們喜歡偶爾吃點好料

As a treat! It shouldn't be every day. I give Wookie Latte, who is running on his wheel,

是當做大餐！不要每天餵。我給 Wookie Latte，牠正在滾輪上跑步

I give Wookie Latte one piece of penne pasta every three or four days.

我每三到四天會給 Wookie Latte 一點點筆管麵

You can also do the same for brown rice. You can use white rice,

你也可以用糙米。白米也行

but it's not as good and nutritious for them as brown rice.

但它營養價值比不上糙米

So you can get them a little bit of brown rice, or the edge of a piece of toast as well.

所以你可以給牠們一些糙米，或是吐司邊也行

Vegetation! This is where I'm going to have to run a whole load of things off pretty quick.

植物！這裡我有一大堆要說的，所以不得不說快點

Vegetables! A couple of vegetables that you find around the house quite commonly: sweet potato.

蔬菜！有一些蔬菜你在家裡就常常看到：地瓜

They love sweet potato, but make sure that you cook it first.

牠們喜歡地瓜，但請確定有先煮過

Don't feed your potato raw. Give them a little bit of cooked sweet potato,

別餵生的。給牠們一些煮過的地瓜

and they will thank you forever and ever and ever.

牠們會永遠永遠永遠感謝你

Corn on the cob! They love a bit of corn on the cob. Take it off the corn,

玉米！他們喜歡吃一些玉米，要把玉米粒撥下來

I just feed a little bit of sweet corn, so I get two or three pieces of sweet corn a couple of times a week,

我會餵一點點甜玉米，所以我一週只餵幾次，一次大概兩到三塊切塊的甜玉米

And I scatter them, and Wookie Latte absolutely adores them.

然後我散佈在四周，Wookie Latte 很喜歡甜玉米

He loves them so much that I have replaced his store-bought treats,

牠好愛玉米，我還把商店買的寵物零嘴換成玉米

which were like a yogurt-drop-type thing, I don't know,

一種類似水滴狀優格的東西，我不知道

and I've replaced that with corn, and he loves corn. If he's going to calm down in my hands,

我把牠換成玉米，牠愛玉米。如果牠很冷靜地待在我手中

it's because he's eating a piece of sweet corn.

那是因為牠在吃甜玉米

[imitating hamster eating sounds]

(模仿倉鼠咀嚼聲)

Who doesn't like sweet corn? Sweet corn is the best! It's so much fun going in, and it's fun on the other end too...

誰不愛甜玉米？甜玉米最棒了！從這頭吃也好玩，從那頭吃也好玩

[giggles]

(咯咯笑)

Celery! Your hamster can eat celery. Give a little bit, make sure that it is washed.

芹菜！你的倉鼠也能吃芹菜，給牠們吃一點，但記得洗過

If you can go organic for any of these foods, that is far better to do

如果你可以取得有機的食物，那會更好

because then you know there's no harmful pesticides on there.

因為不會有任何有害的殺蟲劑在裡面

In fact, coming to pesticides, another food which is fantastic and a really great treat

事實上，提到殺蟲劑，另一個很棒很適合當大餐的食物

which you might see in a dry form in your pet store is dandelion.

你在寵物店可能看到它是乾燥過的，就是蒲公英

They can eat the stalk, they can eat the leaves, and they can eat the head as well.

牠們可以吃莖部、葉子，牠們也可以吃頂端

But make sure if you are gonna feed dandelion, if you go out and collect it yourself,

但如果你要餵牠們吃蒲公英，如果是你自己去野外採集的

please, please, make sure that the area you are collecting from is not treated for pesticide.

請確定你採集蒲公英的地區沒有使用殺蟲劑

If you can grow your own dandelions, that is great. Make sure you wash any dandelions from outside

如果你可以自己種蒲公英，那最好。但請確定從戶外拿進來的蒲公英都有洗過

because you don't know if you have dogs peeing on them or pesticides,

因為你不知道會不會有狗在上面尿尿或沾到殺蟲劑

just make sure you wash, wash, wash, and please try and get them as natural as possible.

確定你有好好地洗過，請確定是以最天然的方式獲得

Cucumber! Now, here's a very interesting thing about cucumber, is it's very high in water.

小黃瓜！小黃瓜這部份很有趣，小黃瓜有很多水份

And what happens when the hamster eats lots of things with water, things like lettuce and cucumber?

而當倉鼠吃太多富含水份的東西，像萵苣或小黃瓜，會發生甚麼事呢

[pooing noises]

(大便聲)

Diarrhea everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Which you don't want.

拉得到處都是，到處！你不會想要這樣

Because if your hamster honestly gets diarrhea, it can get dehydrated very, very quickly.

因為如果你的倉鼠得了痢疾，牠很快很快就會脫水

If you suspect that your hamster has diarrhea, take it straight to the vet.

如果你懷疑你的倉鼠有痢疾，直接帶牠去找獸醫

Don't be giving it any Imodium or any over-the-counter medicines, go straight to your vet.

別給牠 Imodium 或其他成藥，直接去找獸醫

And for that reason, if you're going to feed any cucumber, minuscule amounts.

因此，如果你要餵牠小黃瓜，一點點就好

Tiny. Tiny. Tiny! Amounts.

一小塊就好

And they love a bit of good cooked parsnip. I like parsnips, too.

牠們也喜歡一些煮過的歐洲防風草，我也喜歡

I like them glazed. Don't give them glazed parsnips.

我喜歡滑滑亮亮的歐洲防風草。別給倉鼠上釉的歐洲防風草

Just bog-standard, roasted parsnip. With nothing on. Nothing at all.

只要普通的、烘烤過的歐洲防風草，上面沒有任何添加物的那種，什麼都沒有

Also watercress. Now, watercress is a fantastic food for that.

西洋菜也可以，西洋菜是個很棒的食物

You can give them little handfuls of it, and you can watch them. It's really sweet.

你可以給牠們一小撮，然後看著牠們吃，西洋菜很甜

They just stuff it in their mouth, so they seem to really love watercress, so watercress is fantastic, too.

牠們會狼吞虎嚥的塞進嘴巴，所以牠們看來是真的很愛西洋菜，所以西洋菜也是個很棒的食物

Peas! Any peas you can really cheaply buy, shop-bought peas.

豌豆！任何你在商店可以買到的、很便宜的豌豆

You can get them like peas in water, let me see if I can insert something for you.

你可以在 water 買到豌豆，讓我找找是否可以插個圖片給你看

Where is it gonna come up? [tongue click] Over here.

它會從哪出現勒？(彈舌) 這裡

Shtop - shop - port... shop-bought peas!

商店購買的豌豆

I buy them in water, that's just a lot cheaper.

我在 water 買的，那裡賣得便宜多了

There's no nastiness in there. Not mushy peas, garden peas.

沒有不乾淨的東西在裡面，不要豌豆泥，要完整的豌豆

So you can get your peas in water. You just pick out one or two at a time.

所以你可以在 water 買到豌豆，你一次只要買一兩罐就好

You can feed maybe two or three of those in a day, so two or three little peas you can feed.

你一天可以餵兩三次，一次餵兩三顆就好

The rest, eat yourself! They're good for you.

剩下的，自己吃掉，豌豆對你也很好

Don't forget to eat your greens.

你自己也別忘了吃青菜

Now fruit! Fruit you want to be sparing with, but fruit,

輪到水果了！水果你要餵少一點，但水果

they can actually eat things like banana, little nub of banana, they will love that.

牠們實際上可以吃的水果，像香蕉，一小塊香蕉，牠們會很喜歡

In fact, what I do with Wookie Latte is I get a little bit of banana,

事實上，我在餵 Wookie Latte 時，我會拿一小塊香蕉

and I smear it in a line across some of these willow sticks.

然後我會在柳樹枝上抹一直線

Like little willow sticks I have, and he has to go along and eat it up like that whilst balancing.

一支小柳樹枝，然後牠要沿著樹枝邊吃邊平衡

Again, it's a little bit of enrichment for him. So you can feed a little bit of banana,

再說一次，這對牠來說就是一點生活中的小樂趣，所以你可以餵一些香蕉

but sparingly because it's very high in sugar. And remember what sugar does.

但不要太多，因為香蕉糖份很高。記得糖份會帶來什麼後果

You have too much sugar, what you gonna get? Fat. And diabetes possibly.

你吃太多糖，你會得到什麼？脂肪，可能還有糖尿病

So you want to look out for any signs of obesity or fattiness or diabetes as well in your hamster, so just a little bit.

所以你想要提防倉鼠出現肥胖或糖尿病的徵兆，就少餵一點吧

Grapes! You can feed grapes. What I do, I like to half the grapes, because again

葡萄！你可以餵葡萄。我是怎麼做呢，我會把葡萄剖半，因為我再說一次

they're quite watery, so I half the grapes. I take out the seeds - not that they'll do too much damage,

葡萄水份很多，所以我會先剖半，再拿出種子，不這麼做牠們可能會受傷

I mean that is debatable, but I just to be on the safe side, I take out the seeds.

我意思是那是有點爭議的，但我就只是想要確保安全，所以把種子挑出來

Tomato. Hey! It's a fruit. Did you know that? Yes, tomato is a fruit.

番茄，嘿！那是水果，你知道嗎，番茄是水果

Tomato, you can feed a little bit. Again, don't feed any seeds. Organic is better.

番茄，你可以餵一些，再說一次，別留下種子。有機的番茄比較好

Don't feed tomato vine! Ever!

不要餵蕃茄藤，千萬不要！

Just don't do it. Just feed them the actual tomato itself, and a very very little bit.

就是不要這麼做，只要餵牠們番茄果肉的部分，而且一點點就好

I'm talking an amount that can balance on the tip of my finger over there. A tiny little niblet of food.

我說的量大概就是可以放在指頭上的大小，就只要很小一塊就好

Ah! Peaches! Peaches they like without the stone, don't put the stone.

啊！桃子！牠們喜歡桃子但不要果核，不要給牠們果核

A lot of stones for a lot of fruits can be poisonous.

有很多水果的果核是有毒的

What else am I missing? There's something I'm missing. Citrus. No citrus.

我還漏掉什麼？我漏掉了一個，柑橘類，不要餵柑橘類

And by citrus, I mean things like lemon and grapefruit.

柑橘類，我的意思是像檸檬跟葡萄柚

Anything like that, don't feed it. The only kind of exception here is kiwi.

像這類的東西，不要餵牠們。唯一例外是奇異果

You can feed a little bit of kiwi, and they really do enjoy it.

你可以餵一些奇異果，牠們會很喜歡

Apple you can feed as well. It doesn't matter if it's green apple or brown... apple...?

蘋果你也可以餵，不管是青蘋果或是褐色…蘋果？

Don't feed brown apple. Do you get brown apples? Red apples or green apples are absolutely fine to feed.

不要餵褐色蘋果，你吃褐色蘋果嗎？紅蘋果或青蘋果可以餵，完全沒問題

Your hamster will really enjoy those.

你的倉鼠會很喜歡這些

Again, I use them as a very seldom treat for Wookie Latte.

再說一次，我把這些當作 Wookie Latte 久久一次的大餐

Now, here's where it gets interesting! Meat and protein.

現在，來談談有趣的！肉類跟蛋白質

Your hamster can eat meat. Now, there are lots of care sheets online that you can look up

你的倉鼠可以吃肉。你在網路上可以找到一堆照料指南

which swear by feeding a little bit of cooked chicken or a little bit of cooked beef,

它們發誓可以餵一些煮過的雞肉、牛肉

but I'm thinking to myself, hang on a second. I mean in the wild,

但我自己想過，等等，我意思是在野外

is the hamster likely to come across cooked beef? No.

倉鼠有辦法吃到煮過的牛肉？不

Is the hamster gonna come across cooked chicken? No.

倉鼠能吃到煮過的雞肉？不

But what your hamster might come across in the wild is carrion.

但你的倉鼠在野外會碰到的就是腐肉

Carrion are dead, deceased animal. So I do feed Wookie Latte - in small portions, mind you -

腐肉就是死掉的動物，所以我會餵 Wookie Latte—提醒你，只有一點—

is chopped up chick. Which I buy online, and I will insert a video around here, so that you can see.

一些雞肉塊，我在網路上買的，我會插入一個影片在這裡，你可以看看

I hope that didn't gross you out too much. It's just one of those things in life. Animals need to eat meat.

我希望這不會讓你感到噁心，這是生活的一部分，動物會需要吃肉

So I have that for my snakes, for some of my lizards, for my ferret, and also a little bit as well for Wookie Latte.

所以我會給我的蛇、蜥蜴、雪貂吃肉，也會給 Wookie Latte 一些

And he enjoys a little bit of chopped up chick. If that's not for you, that's fine.

而牠也蠻享受有一點雞肉塊可吃，如果你不喜歡，也沒關係

There are alternatives, which will come to you right now.

還有一些替代品，現在要介紹給你

Crickets! Brown crickets are very, very common to come past. Most pet shops will have brown crickets

蟋蟀！蟋蟀很容易取得，很多寵物店都有蟋蟀

because people who keep reptiles and other exotics really rely on brown crickets.

因為許多人靠蟋蟀來養爬蟲類或其他外來種

They can be annoying because they sing quite a lot.

牠們會有點惱人，因為牠們很常叫

I personally like it, makes me feel like I'm somewhere tropical at night,

我個人是蠻喜歡，讓我覺得好像在某個熱帶地區度過夜晚

but if you chuck these into your enclosure,

但如果你把蟋蟀丟進去

Sometimes some hamsters will chase after them. Wookie will do it.

有時候倉鼠會追著牠們跑，Wookie 就會這樣

He will quite ferociously hunt for brown crickets.

他會很兇殘地獵食蟋蟀

He really, really likes them, gives him his exercise. He's not just on his treadmill,

牠真的真的很喜歡蟋蟀，讓牠運動一下，不要只是讓牠在踏車上

He's actually hunting for his food.

牠需要真的去獵食

Now a great treat and a fantastic source of protein and a little bit of fat too, is mealworms.

還有一種可以當作大餐，又有很棒的蛋白質跟脂肪來源，就是麵包蟲

Mealworms are phenomenal and your hamster will love mealworms, like just guaranteed.

麵包蟲真的很棒，你的倉鼠會很愛麵包蟲，我保證

Go out there, get some mealworms. If you're not going to use up the whole batch,

去找些麵包蟲來，如果你沒有要用掉一整批麵包

you can feed your birds outside as well. Trust me, a little handful of these just chucked outside,

你也可以用來餵鳥。相信我，只要扔一小撮在外面

and you're gonna have every bird in the vicinity coming down and thanking you like you are their god or goddess.

附近就會有一堆鳥飛下來，並把你當上帝感謝你
