Default Re: What should I be feeding my hamster?

I agree that a pellet diet isn't suitable for hamsters, they're foragers & need a variety in their mix.
Selective feeding problems often aren't that much of an issue & can be avoided by only feeding every few days (giving enough food for that time) & not refilling the bowl or scattering more food until at least most of it has been eaten.
Oxbow is far from ideal as the protein is too low (for a younger hamster) & the fibre is actually a little on the high side.
If you're in the US you may be able to get Hazel Hamster which is the same as Harry Hamster used by many UK owners.
