rodents hamsters
Healthy hamsters have nice round cheeks, clear dry eyes, a soft and shiny coat, and short legs with nails that are not too long. They become tame easily and are usually friendly toward both adults and children. Hamsters are mainly nocturnal animals. The most popular hamster species are the Russian dwarf hamster, the Syrian hamster, the golden hamster, the Chinese dwarf hamster, and the Roborovski hamster. Not all species require the same living environment, but they do all need the same type of feed! In the wild, hamsters eat grains, seeds, and greens, plus some animal-based food. They eat the same feed as rats and gerbils. That is why Garvo offers 6504 hamster and rat feed and 5540 rodent mix for all hamster species.
feeding advice
- a dwarf hamster eats approximately 6 grams of feed per day, while a golden hamster eats about 10 grams per day
- provide hamsters with fresh food every other day, as they naturally store food. They are natural hoarders!
- green food can be given as a supplement, but it is not necessary
- occasionally offering animal products, such as a small cube of cheese, is allowed
- provide fresh water daily
