What food is great for them

[janiv]

Hi,

What species do I have (sorry for the quality) and what is the best food for them (branded, vegetables, fruits, others)?





Thanks,
Janiv.

she looks like a hybrid to me, I would say the best food around for dwarfs what I like is burgess dwarf hamster food with being in Israel maybe you could look into making your own . she looks to more like a Campbell in the bottom picture,

I agree she does look like a hybrid but closest to an albino Campbell in colour. Stick with a good quality hamster mix for her and feed small amounts of fruit and veg but not very sweet fruits - things like broccoli, cabbage and apple in finger nail sized pieces would be fine.

What are you feeding her on at the moment? A good quality dry hamster mix is essential. Anything else is additional as already mentioned and raw vegetables should only be fed in very small amounts and only a few times in a week.

She will be a hybrid Russian dwarf, so she can`t have any sugar, honey, syrup or molassed foods due to their risk of developing diabetes if fed too much sugar or sweet treats. Treats should consist of a few sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, the raw veg mentioned and always check anything you buy from a shop for analysis or content.

She`s gorgeous by the way!

Currently I feed them Branded Mix (Hamster Crispy).
In addition, I bring them daily (one of the following each day): cucumber, carrot, mango, peach, banana, olives.
