'I treat my spoiled hamsters to luxurious home-cooked meals so they have a varied diet'

Pets are members of the family, so sometimes owners like to spoil them with treats and toys. One man loves his hamsters so much he treats them as good as any other member of his family. His adorable pampered pets are regularly served delicious home-cooked meals, including curries, pasta, cheesecakes and pumpkin pies.

Anton Allan, 22, from Paisley, Scotland, spoils his two Syrian hamsters, Mr Marshmallow and Mr Liquorice, and spares no expenses.

The pet owner has a list of over 100 different dishes he likes to make for them, and he also takes it a step further by setting up little scenarios for his pets to enjoy their food in.

Mr Marshmallow, two, and Mr Liquorice, who is a few months old, know exactly what they like – and Anton likes them to enjoy their food.

Anton said: "I first started by doing taste tests with my hamsters to figure out what they like. The first thing Mr Marshmallow ever tried was some watermelon, and he loved it.

"At the start, I just tried him on some different fruits and veggies but then I decided I wanted to start making him some meals to try.

"So I did a bunch of research and followed some recipes I found online, but then I decided I wanted to try and make my own things for him."

Lucky hamsters Mr Marshmallow and Mr Liquorice don't just live off seeds, pellets and fresh vegetables – they have food fit for a human.

Speaking about Mr Marshmallow, Anton continued: "I made him spaghetti with a sauce, a hamster-friendly cheesecake, and apple pie.

"Since then I have made a bunch of new things for him to try like, a curry, marshmallows, pumpkin pie and many more. I have so much fun thinking of new things for him to try because he absolutely loves his food."

Mr Marshmallow isn't a picky eater, and it's rare Anton finds anything he won't eat.

Meanwhile, his sibling Mr Liquorice is new to the family, so they are still figuring out what he likes.

Anton added: "Mr Liquorice is still new so he hasn't tried too many things yet, but he did try some pancakes for pancake day and he really enjoyed them."

The adorable pets also have their own TikTok account, where Anton shows what they get up to. They currently have almost 600k followers.

Followers can see them munching away at luxurious dishes such as spaghetti and curry.
