Anything in my Basic Dwarf Hamster Mix

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
