I was greasing my hamster's wheel with mayo. (long story, don't ask) and I noticed that they started licking it.

Never heard of that, but it isn't in their usual diet. A better way to grease their wheel is with virgin olive oil. That is a good thing for their diet and it works better to keep the noise down.

I am not sure if it is ok for the Hamster to eat Mayo or not as soon as you put it on, but.............
Mayonaise is one of those types of food that go bad really fast. It can mold an smell bad in a short period of time. I would hate for your little guy to get food poisoning.
I would reccomend some extra virgin Olive Oil. It is good for their system and will not go bad.

it probably won't hurt it that small amount but i would stay away from that kind of menu its bad for their digestion. they eat vegetation and seeds. anything with a high quantity of fat of oil is bad for them. you could get a book at the pet store on raising your hamster. it would probably cost a few $, if you don't want to do that go to your public library or even on your computer and research hamsters. they will be very informative.

No. What you communicate tasty, and what your hamster considers tasty are diverse. in case you may tell that he of course likes it lots, why might you prefer to alter him? that's undesirable to feed your hamster too many culmination & greens, please persist with the food which you have been feeding him for the previous 3 hundred and sixty 5 days and save the greens/culmination for treats.

i dont know, i wouldnt recommend letting that mayonaise sit in the cage at room temp though, it will probably go bad and cause your hamster to get sick...as far as him eating it though...my last one ate ham and lived to be 5!

Compared to your body weight, would it be o.k. for you to eat an entire jar of mayo in one lick????

no I wouldn't it's too fatty, you can grease the wheel with veg oil.
