Shop Hamster Food
If you’ve recently brought home a new pet hamster, you are probably wondering what it is they like to eat. Hamsters are omnivores, meaning they like both plant and animal based foods. There are a variety of foods you can choose to feed your hamster, but some foods are better than others.
What To Feed Your Hamster
The ideal hamster diet will consist of…
- Hamster Pellets: Hamster pellets provide a completely balanced diet and are often recommended for this reason.
- Vegetables: Your hamster will enjoy a fresh supply of organically grown greens like romaine lettuce, spinach carrot tops, artichokes, broccoli spears and cabbage,
- Fruit: Hamsters love fresh fruit like apples, pears, peaches, melon and bananas. Remember to only give in moderation as a supplement to their usual diet.
- Occasional invertebrates: When fed in moderation, mealworms are a great and nutritious addition to your hamsters diet.
- Hay: Fresh and suitable hay such as timothy hay is a great gnawing food that can help ensure your hamster’s teeth are kept in good condition.
- Water: Make sure your hamster always has access to clean, fresh, water that is changed daily. Bottle water dispensers work very well for hamsters
