Feeding

Make sure that water is available at all times and make sure it is fresh.  Like we said earlier, the best thing to use is a water bottle.

Hamsters like to eat a lot of things.  You can buy specialized food for hamsters in your store which should be the basics for their diet.  It is preferable to buy hamster mix instead of hamster pellets since there is a lot more variety in it.

Besides their regular diet you can give your hamster an occasional treat.   Here are some examples :

  • Fruits like apple, grapes, pear, prunes and banana

  • Fresh vegetables like carrots, cucumber, peas, sweetcorn, broccoli, cauliflower

  • Raisins

  • Cereals (breakfast)

  • Nuts

  • Eggs

  • Yogurt

  • Dog biscuits

Never feed your hamster :

  • Chocolate

  • Canned or frozen vegetables

  • Onions

  • Garlic

  • Raw beans

  • Rabbit mix

Make sure the things you feed are fresh and not spoiled or rotten.
