Hey y’all, it’s your boy Matt here. I’ve always been a fan of hot sauce, and I put that sh*t on everything. But one time, I made the mistake of trying to spice up my hamster’s food with a little bit of hot sauce. Let’s just say, things did not go well.<\/p>\n

I thought to myself, “hey, hamsters are pretty resilient little guys, they can handle a little bit of spice.” Boy, was I wrong. I came home from work to find my poor little hamster gasping for air, red as a tomato and visibly in pain.<\/p>\n

I immediately rushed him to the vet, and let me tell you, the vet was not amused. She scolded me for being such a dumbass and told me that hot sauce is definitely not safe for hamsters<\/a> (or any small animal for that matter).<\/p>\n

So, lesson learned the hard way: hot sauce is a big no-no for hamsters<\/a>. But is that true for all small animals? Let’s dive into the details and find out.<\/p>\n
