Default Need some advice please!

Treacle seems to have gone off her musli and is only eating her treat stick, and when i try and mix things in the musli she just picks it out. Earlier today I decided to go and buy a small bag of Harry Hamster food and I was wondering how I go about transfering Treacle over to it.

The food she is on is the same one she was fed by the breeder I got her from so I think she may have finaly had enough.

Any help would be appreciated

From Caroline

Try mixing the Harry hamster, 1/4HH compared to 3/4 of the food she used to eat. Gradually increase to 1/2 and 1/2. then 3/4 to 1/4 and then you should be able to completely remove the old food.

Yes as Happy saz said do it gradually over a week or two until you are fully moved on to the new food. She may always leave bits of food but if she is active and glossy she is likely eating a balanced diet.

Thanks for helping, I hand fed treacle a few bits earlier and she has a little with her normal food aswell, she seemed to really like the little bits i gave her and the Harry Hamster feed looks more appealing than her current stuff.

Thanks anyways
Caroline and Treacle
