Should i keep my hamster dish full?

Question

i have 2 hamsters a male and a female and when i put the food in the dish the female takes over and eats most of the food and i was wondering if should always leave the food tray full or should i just feed them a specified amount a day

Answer 1

I wouldn't recommend keeping the bowl full, especially if the female is prone to stuffing herself. She'll likely get fat and unhealthy. If you need to, separate them when you feed them.

P.S. Hopefully one of them has been spayed or neutered, eh!

Answer 2

To keep them at a healthy weight i would fill the dish to the top once a day.  If it seems that one is getting more than the other than you can always feed them seperately. I also would feed them in the evening since they seem more active at night.
