Got some veggies & fruit for panda, how much & how often

[Panda's_mommy]

I got some apples, carrots and broccoli at the store today for panda. How much do I give him when I give him fresh fruits and veggies and how often? Also when I give him fresh foods do I still give him his hamster food?

Give them a small amount of it all about twice a week but try not to overfeed and take out any leftovers just in case is goes manky in the cage and yes give them there normal hamster food and always supply fresh water. Hope i helped.

Introduce it nice and slowly. Give a small piece of one and see how get on for a couple of days. No soft poos etc. Once you build up i give mine a piece of fruit or veg everyday aswell as his mix. He also has a piece of chicken once a week which he adores.

how much chicken do u give him? i want to start giving panda chicken too! can it be sliced chicken breast lunch meat?

[icklemunch]

Not pre packaged stuff as it has added salt etc to preserve. I usually either give him fresh breast or off a whole chicken. I just give him a piece, roughly about 1 inch ish .

ok, and as far as the veggies and fruits how big of a piece do i give? say broccoli for example? i just don't know how much to give when i read give a small amount! also i read in my hamster books that you can give then canned dog food once a week, is that true?

I know some feed cat food, like Applaws. I have not heard of dog food.

Has to be pretty much meat, veg, rice and water....no strong flavours.

Have you thought of baby food? Mine live Grandpa's Sunday Lunch, porridge, egg custard and rice pudding!

I usually give about an inch sized piece. Ive never given mine dog food, but he does like dog biscuits (just make sure no garlic or onion) mine has bonio puppy milky biscuits, is great for their teeth.
There is also dried mealworms, millet spray, and cooked pasta. Oh and either boiled or scrambled egg.

[slatted]

Mine also love dog biscuits...full sized bonio, Markies or Milky bones are popular.

The Syrians I have had do not like mealworms or millet though they like egg and pasta :/

Slatted my syrians have never liked mealworms either,my robo loves them.

And as for egg and pasta yep goes very quick!! My jeffro does love millet though .
