Default Please help me to work out what to feed my hamster.

Please help me to work out what to feed my hamster. She is almost two and I looked at her teeth today and they're worse than I originally thought, one of her bottom teeth is only just poking through her gum the other is only slightly longer.

What should I be feeding her and How much baby food and other soft items egg, porridge etc should She be given? She eats it like she's starving but I don't want to give her too much and upset her stomach or something.

I would recommend feeding your hamster wet food made from supreme science selective pellets - which I would make available to your hamster all day so she can eat whenever she is hungry - I would recommend changing the food every 12 to 24 hours ensuring the food is kept fresh. You can make a large batch of food, put it in ice cube trays and freeze them - then you can defrost when you need the food. Additional treats like baby food and porridge can be feed alongside the wet food but I would advise this to be fed sparingly.
I made this thread up which details ways to feed hamsters who are missing teeth (or are having teeth problems) or elderly which you may find useful - Feeding Hamsters with Missing Teeth or Who Are Elderly.
