Re: For diabetic and hybrid dwarf hamsters (Glycemic Index and Load)
Thanks for the link ashari, most useful. I hav`nt yet done much digging on the diabetes issue but am aware of Prinny`s diet and as far as I know, she only gets fed an 18% protein hamster mix (Burgess Supahamster Harvest) with the banana, corn/maize, peas and nuts/sunflower eds/pumpkin seeds removed.
I add organic jumbo oats, Buckwheat and organic puffed rice to this which hopefully makes up the difference in the loss of the ommitted things. She also gets a scattering of millet/canary seed which has Hemp and Linseed included.
She seems to enjoy this so I will stick with it and possibly add a few other grains and seeds once I figure out which are beneficial and which are not!
