Default Re: Feeding a Baby Hamster

Two months is probably the average age for pet shops hams that are brought home so you don't need to worry too much as long as you have a good base mix, that's always the most important thing.
A little extra protein is always good at that age, mealworms are high in fat so fine for a young ham but not too many, just plain cooked chicken or freeze dried chicken & maybe a little scrambled egg now & then will be plenty.
Introduce a variety of veg slowly & work up to daily for extra vitamins & minerals.

Hamsters do need plenty of fibre, it is very important for them & I have never come across a ham having too much but a good mix & fresh veg daily should provide all you need.

A lot does depend on your main mix.
