🐹 Do Hamsters Have a Balanced Diet?
March 13,2025

Not just grains! The right ratio is key!
Many owners think feeding grain-based food + water is enough, but hamsters also need veggies for fiber! 🥦
📌 Ideal Diet Ratio → 60% grains + 40% vegetables
⚠ Be careful! Some foods are dangerous!
❌ High-calorie treats (like sunflower seeds) should be given in moderation to prevent obesity!
Soft vs. Hard Pellets?
🐹 Feed "HARD" pellets – they help wear down teeth!
🐹 Soft pellets can cause overgrown teeth, leading to eating difficulties!
📌 Recommended Daily Grain Intake
🐹 Syrian Hamster → 10-15g
🐹 Dwarf Hamsters (Roborovski, Campbell, Winter White, etc.) → 3-5g
