Does anyone else only feed once a week?

Lovely
I used to feed peggy everday but now both mine get 2-3 teaspoons every other day. Which porridge eats all of it and peggy only eats about half. So I've reduced it to 1-2 teaspoons for her.

They days of feeding just seed mix have been long gone for me. I switched to a lab block (pelleted) diet when I got my first hamster from a breeder and never looked back. I find in nice because I just give a handful of blocks and they can last a good 2 weeks before they are all eaten. I like that they are getting all of their nutritional needs met and not just getting to pick what the like. I do however make my own hamster mix that they get a little spoonful of maybe twice a week. They also get fruits, veggies, eggs, tofu, baby food, etc.
