Default Re: Best Hamster Feed Mix/Mealworms/Seeds

Everyone has different preferences in food. It is best to use a food with no added sugar or hidden sugars such as fructose.
We like Harry Hamster as it has a prebiotic to aid healthy digestion.
You can feed live or dried mealworms. The live must be supervised as they eat or else you may end up with the grubs hatching into insects. Two or three a day are enough. The dried are less nutritious however. We find they get the same protein from a bit of chicken or egg.
Supplementary seeds that are good for dwarfs are Linseed, bulgar wheat, lentils, barley, millet and omega seed mix.
