Hamster food?

Question

do i keep its bowl toped up at all times ? i dono coz i dont want it to be fat >.< i know it stores food but do i still keep the bowl toped up? and do i just do the same if theres 2?

Answer 1

no about half is fine.

Answer 2

no, give it a handful everyday, they are very good with fooling you. they really don&#039;t eat as much as you think and store more than you think. id say just a little more for the two. JUST MAKE SURE YOU DON&#039;T HAVE TWO SYRIANS in one cage!!!!! They aren&#039;t social, they could get in a fight or two and thats not really good for them. remember, anything that takes its food is not its friend. thats for Syrians only.

Answer 3

What I do is fill up the cup 3/4. Its not too much and not too little. I have three hamsters (just got one on the 24th!). Feed them lots of veggies and fruits (not citrus) and mixes. Its all about a healthy diet. Read the ingredients and it could show you how healthy. They also love mineral chews! How big is the bowl though? I hope this helps and is the easiest way you can put it!! Hope this helps and good luck!

Ps: They hide it all around their cage hint hint!

Answer 4

&lt;i&gt; No u only need to feed the hamster once or twice daily ..

maybe one in the morning and one in the evening IF the food is all gone

Overfeeding it will mean no more hamster!

Answer 5

If it has no food in the bowl it may have food somewhere else. Check in its bed if it has food in then it won&#039;t starve.

Answer 6

I can understand why you like to keep the bowl topped up, at least then you know it definitely has food, but I usually have to feed my hamster every other day, he is still a bit chubby but at least I always know he has plenty of food. And occasionally we feed he some fresh food and treats as a little extra ^^

Answer 7

u only need to top it up when it needs it topped up hope this helped

Answer 8

i made that mistake i topped it up when it was empty everyday and now shes gotten a it fat.  Have a peek where they store it without disrupting it and see how much they have how much they need and how much they have eaten. Maybe just top up a little, not filin to the whole top x

Answer 9

Hamsters never get fat by eating the commercial healthy hamster feed that you get at pet shops. Get a good brand like Kaytee or Nutriphase and remove all the sunflower seeds before you put the food in the food dish. Hamsters never &quot;overeat&quot; like us and get fat, they get fat only when their normal diet includes fatty treats to which they get hooked on to thereby avoiding eating their normal food.

Hamsters are nocturnal and eat mainly at night so it is advisable to keep their food dish full at all times so that they have the freedom of eating whenever they want to. As for the overweight possibility, just avoid all commercial treats like yoghurt drops etc which are only junk calories and give them only healthy treats like sunflower seeds, bits of hard boiled egg (hamsters love them), carrots and plain rice krispies. However, the commercial hamster mix should account for 80% of the hamster daily diet and only 20% should come from treats.

Answer 10

just give one table spoon of food every evening per hamster (like 30 grams for 1 hamster) that is enough for them. Also they like carrot, spinach, banana, apple, egg, cheese etc but just a little bit otherwise they get problems with their intestines.
