I think our hamster enjoys nesting with the hay rather than actually eating it, but she does enjoy the seed heads.

He really loves it. Everytime I get the bag of hay for the bunnies, he comes crawling out to get his share.

Sounds like your doing a great job hamster-sitting, Varna!
The dried grass should be fine, just make sure there aren't any hard pieces (like straw) that might hurt his little mouth pouches.

hi there all
had to take smarty to the vets
he was given 4 drops on the bk of his neck and also
baytrill antibiotics
as when we got him he seemed to have a nasty skin infection
took him to our vets and he had mites and mange
poor little hammy but hopefiuly his fur will start to come bk
his owners didnt take him to see a vet
as they thought it was just a sign of old age

It sounds like you're doing the right things.
I'm glad you took Smartie to the vet so he could get started on some treatments.
Mange/mites are treatable and in-themselves are notlife threatening conditions. However it could be an indication of an underlying issue.
Keep an eye on him and call the vet if he doesn't seem to be improving.
Do his owners know?
