Whatever kind of meat you decide to feed to your hamster; make sure that it is unseasoned. That means no salt, pepper or other spices. Finally, you may hear horror stories about hamster cannibalism. Some people say that giving a hamster meat makes them more likely to be cannibals and eat their babies or other hamsters! This is not true. Hamsters have been known to eat their young when they look unhealthy or when there is not enough food or water available. And, in some cases, hamsters may also kill — and possibly eat — other hamsters if their environment is overcrowded and unclean.
You do this by feeding them a very small amount as a test. If your hamster shows no signs of sickness, you can go ahead and add more cheese to their diet. As well as hard cheeses, you may also be interested to know that hamsters can eat small quantities of cottage cheese.
You should choose a low-fat variety and feed a test amount before feeding cottage cheese to your hamster more regularly. Hamsters can eat a wide variety of fruits; including grapes, strawberries, apples and watermelon. The only type of fruits that you should definitely avoid are citrus fruits, such as oranges and lemons. This is because their acidity could give your hamster problems with their digestion.
To feed your hamster grapes or apples, you should first remove the skin, slice the fruit into small pieces in half, at least, preferably into quarters and remove any large seeds. Ideally, you should buy seedless grapes for your hamster, as this completely removes any risk of them choking. Be particularly careful with watermelon, as it can easily cause diarrhoea if you give your hamster too much.
Taking the time to offer test pieces will also tell you whether your hamster likes the new food. Carrots can be a great food for your hamster to gnaw on. As with new fruits, you should try feeding your hamster a small piece of carrot before giving them lots. Alina Hartley is a small-town girl with a ginormous love of bearded dragons. It all started with Winchester, a baby bearded who was abandoned at the shelter by his former owners because of a birth defect that caused one front leg to be shorter than the other.
Alina originally went to the shelter looking for a guinea pig, but one look at Winchester and it was love at first sight. From that day on, Alina has dedicated her life to learning everything she can about bearded dragons.
She loves helping new beardie parents start their incredible journey with these magnificent reptiles. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Table of Contents. Editor's Choice. Both Syrian and Dwarf Hamsters. Made from soya, whole peanuts and sunflower seeds. Non-GMO food made from three varieties of grass hay to support variety. Pelletted food made from a variety of corns and seeds. However, what they eat is just as important as how much they eat.
Hamsters like to pick out the tasty fattening food first out of the dish. Kids like cookies but need their fruits and vegetables, too. Speaking of fruits and vegetables — hamsters need them too! The best treats for hamsters are foods that are similar to what they might eat in the wild.
Fresh rinsed with water veggies are good, and examples include carrots, squash, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, romaine lettuce, spinach and other greens. Fresh fruits rinsed in water are good too, such as apples, pears, bananas, grapes and most berries. But remember never to give any citrus fruits like oranges, limes, lemons or grapefruit. Only give small amounts at a time. In addition to fresh fruits and veggies, hamsters love whole grain breads and cereals.
Plain scrambled or boiled eggs are a nice treat.
