I heard that hay can punture their cheek pouches. So I probably wouldn't give them any. When I had hamsters I used to give them hay. They didn't get harmed at all, but when I found out I took it away, just to be safe. Mine didn't really like it anyways.

Really? That I never knew... was that "normal" hay only or all hay like timothy? I think I'll go pick out the hay from the cages now...

Chaos, I was using timothy, which can be pretty hard and pokey. Alfalfa cubes might be softer, although I'm not sure.

Phlares, Daisy is very, very, cute! :)

Nope..Timothy hay and alphalfa is fine for them. It wont puncture anything no worries
