Default Re: Your Hamster's Diet

Wow, I'm no where near as organised as planning a weekly menu for them!

My hams get their mix every three days or so, anymore frequently and they just pick their favourite bits out and leave the rest - leaving it for three days makes them eat the majority of it! Whatever is left at the end of the three days gets chucked out and replenished for fresh.

Added to their mix they get extras like oats, millet, extra sunflower seeds, canary seed, flax seed, mealworms, dog kibble, dried herbage etc.

Almost every day they'll get a piece of vegetable - broccoli is their favourite so they get they most often, but I try to keep it varied for them. Occasionally they'll get a tiny bit of fruit instead. Maybe a couple of times a month they'll get an extra special treat like plain cooked chicken, a little bit of plain yogurt, boiled egg or maybe a little piece of cooked rice, pasta or noodle - they love that!

So, all in all, no strict routine - just plenty of variety, and keeping the junk (like choc drops etc) to a bare minimum! They seem healthy and happy
