Default Re: Is your hamster diabetic?

I'm sorry to hear about Zeke. The Burgess dwarf ingredients look ok as there is no sugar/dried fruit. I have used Harry without the sweetcorn and flakes, and a homemade mix of hempseed/flax/budgie tonic seed/mealworms/pinhead oatmeal. There is more information about diet changes for a diabetic hamster in a stickied thread in the health section and on my website (Diabetes in Hamsters - Vectis Hamstery)

ETA: shyimafadh, you may be able to buy the urine test strips at a pharmacy/chemist.
