Food Measuring

Sparklegirl · 09-13-2013, 03:24 PM

Hello,

I am currently feeding my hamsters HH. I read you are supposed to feed them 0.5 g or 0.2 oz. Is there an easier way to measure then searching for a scale (which I don't have!) every time you feed them?

Measure it out, tip it into a spoon and then you'll know how much 0.5g looks like. It doesn't have to be exact

I don't stick to exact measurements, I've never weighed the food out I just give them a couple of teaspoons a day

Ok! Thanks a lot!

Yeah I just use a teaspoon. One teaspoon for the dwarfies, and two for big fluffy Fin.

I used to give Syrians 10g per day, but... now i'm less finicky and just give them a lil scoop per day ha

I use one of those little green spoons that come with the tefal actifryer! I got one with the replacement machine when our first one was accidentally melted

, but you can buy them on eBay as spares. I find it a perfect size, and accurately gives each hamster one scoop of mix each night.

I have those baking spoons used for measuring flour etc so I tend to use the one teaspoon per day. If there's he eats more I just top up a little!
