Answer 2

I just give him a little handful of it. remember, he'll hide it around his cage and you don't need to fill it every time you go by his cage.  :)

Answer 3

as much as a bowl and carrots

Answer 4

As much as it needs, and plenty of water too. The quantity though, will depend on the kind of food you give your hamster. One trick is to give plenty of food, and the next day, look at how much is left.

Remember that it's always best to throw away a little bit of food than to have your pet not eat enough. Rodents usually will only eat what they need and won't overstuff themselves, so you don't have to worry about giving them too much food (unless you give them food that is too fat for them).

Answer 5

Hamsters eat hardly a teaspoonful of food in a day but will hoard a huge quantity in various selected areas in their bedding. Also they eat at odd hours since they are nocturnal. Best thing would be to keep a food dish in the hamster cage filled with the hamster commercial feed mix so that the hamster has access to food at all times. Always check the level in food dish and refill it whenever it is low.

Treats need not be kept in the food dish and can be reserved for you to feed the hamster during playtime. However treats should not constitute more than 15% of the hamster daily diet, the rest 85% should come from a good brand hamster commercial feed mix.
