The food recommended by cypher is the one i use as well.

I don't feed my dwarfs fruit at all because of the sugar content. They love cucumber, broccoli, kale etc. I'm also very careful with treats and nibble sticks, they get them but i avoid the ones with honey and always read the ingredients list. Dried mealworm treats add protein to their diet.

See how you go with the bottle and if that's working ok you are in the right place to get further advice.

It's easy to measure exactly how many mls a hamster drinks in 24hrs, it's not difficult to home test for diabetes and people on this forum are incredibly helpful should you have a diabetic hamster.

I know because i had one.
