Default Re: Dwarf dietary questions - diabetes and tumors

Hello Circe

Anything in my Basic Dwarf Hamster Mix Dwarf Hamster - Basic - £1.38 : ratRations.com

Or in my Basic Dwarf Hamster ~ With No Fish Dwarf Hamster - No Freshwater Shrimps - £1.20 : ratRations.com

Can be fed to Diabetes prone dwarfs.

I think they are scaring you about the feeding fat can cause tumours. No one knows what causes Cancer.

The things to avoid are Flaked Peas/Corn & all Fruit. Carrots & Sweet Corn. Thes are high in natural sugar once digested which in Humans is not very much but a small Dwarf it's a lot more for there body's to digest.

Same goes for treats nothing with sugar or fruit. I have made a list of diabetes prone Dwarf Hamster Treats

Nuts! only a small amount each day because they are fatty

Millet spray

Mealworms

Mix some Puffs up, Puffed Rice, Millet & Buckwheat (make sure the ingredients is 100% & no added anything can be found in health food shops)

Rice cake (with no salt again may need to visit a health food shop)

Saflower seeds

Cabbage

Sprout

Runner Beans

French Beans

Cooked egg

Cooked Plain Chicken

Cooked Pasta

Pumpkin Seeds

Egg Biscuit (make sure it is sugar free as sometimes the binder can be sugar based)

Sunflower Seeds

Sprouted Seeds


feed a small bit of veg two/three times a week. A treat from the above list once a day

Hope that helps a little
