Answer 2

The best food for hamsters is only the commercial hamster feed mix available in the pet shops. Hamsters need variety in their diet and the best way to do it is to get the commercial hamster feed that contains all the vitamins and minerals that your hamster requires. Give him the commercial feed and you are sure to have a healthy hamster for a long time.

You can feed him treats occassionally.However, the commercial hamster mix should account for 80% of the hamster daily diet and only 20% should come from treats.

Also remember any treat you give him should be unsalted, without sugar and without flavour. Visit the following link for a list of foods you can and not give a hamster. Take a printout and put in on a board for easy reference.

Answer 4

Hi!

The first you should know about hamsters is that they are very sensible to diet changes.

You have to introduce every new food slowly, and by that I mean you should feed him with something new in small quantities  for 2- 3 days  and then repeat the process for another type of new food. If you notice that he has diarrhea you have to immediately stop giving him vegetables and fruits and do not give him the food that caused the diarrhea.

The hamster's main food should consist of the mix that you can find in the local pet shops. This will assure his daily dose of vitamins and proteins. My hamsters eat only the seeds and avoid the vitamins so I have to be prepared with fresh vegetables and fruit every day.

!!!!!!!Make sure  to buy hamster/gerbil food and not rabbit food because it could be poisonous for your tiny hamster.

If you have a dwarf hamster you will have to avoid food with sugar in it because these breed is susceptible to diabetes.

Here is a short list of food items that should never be fed to dwarf hamsters:

- Almonds (possibly toxic/ Cyanic acid)

- Apple Seeds

- Buttercups (flower)

- Candy/ Junk Foods

- Canned foods and other processed foods

- Chocolate (toxic)

- Garlic (possibly toxic in some animals)

- Onion (possibly toxic in some animals)

- Peanut Butter (can get stuck in pouches

- Pork

- Potatoes (raw)

- Sandwich meats (contain too much salt, high nitrates)

As treats I give them -carrots

                                    -pears

                                    -cheese

                                    -cucumber

                                    -boiled chicken breast

                                    -raisins

                                    -yogurt

                                    -dog biscuits

My hammy LOVES sunflower seeds.

Answer 7

well pretty much every pet store carries hamster food. they also eat fruit and vegetables, such as carrots, lettuce (maybe), and probably celery. they probably will eat apples and grapes, if you cut them up.

Answer 8

My gerbil loves to eat sun flower seeds and corn kernels. You can try all different food to see what he likes best.

Answer 9

I get a good quality mix from petsmart, it is made be Kaytee, it is a mix of pellets and a variety of seeds. You should also feed them fruits and veggies 1 aweek, but no citrus. You should also give them plain dry uncooked oats 1 a week. Fresh water should always be availble. This is what I use http://www.flickr.com/photos/28516892@N0...

Answer 10

You can find hamster food in most pet stores.

For treats, you can give him hard-boiled egg, fruits, sunflower seeds ( a favorite ) and fruits and veggies.

Answer 11

Well to know what to feed a hamsters is easy they like to eat grains and veggies and fruit.But to know if your hammy will eat it all I can say is the colors.Get a peice of paper and crayons or any thing that can color.Color blocks or differ colors and cut each block out.Show one block at a time to your hamster.Move it around and if your hammy follows it that is one color you should get.If your hammy doesn't attract to any get some samples.Buy some rasins,peanuts,corn,peas,and maybe some cheerios.What ever he really like buy the almost same time(when I mean almost I was talking about the Cheerios.)
