Hamster diets

On the market their are many different types of hamsters food you can buy. But from my experience i haven't found on mix which works alone for my hamsters. Most of the time you will end up mixing different food mixes together to help create a balanced diet. In addition, there are pellet food mixes out their but i don't recommend using them alone as your hamster can find them very boring.

Hamster foods i recommend

With hamster food the best i have found is Beaphar hamster food you can get this for dwarfs. This food is an all in one brand which contains all the nutrients and vitamins your hamster will need. Although this can be boring for your hamster therefore, i recommend mixing in another hamster mix for Syrian i recommenced Harry hamster and for dwarfs vitakraft menu.

As well as in your daily hamsters diet i recommend feeding your hamster fruits and veg every 1 to 2 days, to give them variation. As hamster are human and getting the same food all the time can be very boring.

Hamsters also usually love peanut butter but it must be fed carefully (as with any other sticky food) because it can get stuck in their cheek pouches and cause severe problems. A very thin layer on a piece of wood is okay as an occasional treat, but peanut butter must be given with caution.
