Can sunflower seed be fed on a regular basis for a robo dwarf hamster?

Question

I was wondering if I can give my Robo Dwarf Hamster sunflower seeds as a meal every day. Or is it just a treat? Is it unhealthy?

Answer 1

Answer 5

Of course and you'll be loved for it! It is often not recommended to feed them regularly because of their fat content, but this doesn't really apply to robos. They exercise a LOT so getting fat isn't a huge concern for them. And they also have a lot of control over themselves. If you give them more than is healthy, they'll stash them away instead of gobbling them up regardless. I give them to mine as treats because I appreciate the interaction and how much they love taking them from me. :) Meal worms seems to be the only treat they love more than sunflower seeds.

Answer 6

feed him a good food hamster mix. A lot of sunflower seeds should not be given, as they do not provide the correct amount of calcium needed for a hamster. this page might help http://www.hamster-club.com/feeding.asp
