COOP Bran flakes for diabetic dwarfies
As my hamsters have developed diabetes in the last 2 - 3 weeks is it OK to feed them bran flakes as a substitute for sweetcorn etc.
The amount of water they consume is phenomenal amounting to about 150 ml each in about 3 - 4 days. I try to remove all the things from the food that may contain sugar or its derivatives but their diet is now a bit boring. They don't care for porridge oats either. Is turnip OK as carrot is not ?
From human diabetes knowledge it can be assumed that the dwarf hamsters will have this condition throughout their lives. Is it true that their already short lives could be reduced by half or more?
However, apart from the thirst, they are quite lively critters in the main or as lively as any dwarf hamster is likely to be.
