What To Feed Your Hamster | Hamster diets

Hamster diets! An important topic that I don't think gets covered too often If you've just picked out one mix from the store and only have been feeding that it most likely is not providing your hamster with the nutritional value they need.

Notes: Seeds are good! Variety is key Less fatty foods 17-19% protein 4-7% fat 6-15% fiber Herbs Be careful Create own mix

[@Santoshjayaram]

Thanks! I was also taking notes too but (just as a friendly note) I think that you missed herbs :)

[@excusemeum....8053]

@Evan Jacobs you need more protein so you can mix another blend with a ton of protein

[@rockysanimals2778]

@Evan Jacobs hey Evan! The fat and fibre is amazing! The protein is quite low though. Try to find one with ALOT of protein, and on the lower side of fibre if it has to be, as the fribre in your mix is very good. I suggest checking Toris description for the video, Taxonomist has written amazing articles on nutrition on the Hamster Hideout Forum. Hope this helps!

Every hamster needs food that YOU have made to suit it's needs, her hamster might need more protein for example, which that would mess up your hamsters diet.

[@MaximumCutenesss]

@Olivia B the Higgins sunburst is a really good food for hamsters, Eli loves it and he’s very healthy, so if your going to a petstore, you can buy the Higgins sunburst and it’s a high variety food, for a pretty good price around 11$. And most hamsters absolutely love it!

For my fellow canadians who don't have access to Mazuri, I used the calculator and 50% higgins mix and 50% of the All Living Things power of 5 pellets meets the percentages she gives. I've never owned a hamster or any small rodent (Rabbit doesnt count) but Im looking into getting one.

[@fluffyyumyums1741]

Does this mean half of each bag combined? I’m new to this and I’m a bit confused

[@keithmyass3350]

all living things power of 5 hamster food changed their recipe so it’s not good anymore because it’s basically like oxbow now since it’s hay based. if it says “timothy hay #1 ingredient” on the front of the bag then it’s the new recipe and it’s bad but if not you can still use it.. the power of 5 rat and mouse pellets have the same guaranteed analysis of the old recipe so it’s a way better option

[@RachelGotHamsters]

My original fav hamster youtuber! Thanks for all your tips and advice it helped so much!

[@followmeandmydaay]

A tip would be to dry herbs yourself if you can't really buy it where you live. Here they even sell these dried herb mixes for small animals in any regular drugstore, but me and a lot of other rabbit owners I know still dry them ourself. If you have a drying machine it's obvious how to do it lol. If not you can just put the plants you want to dry outside in the sun when it's warm. Make sure it won't get wet (watch the rain forecast) and leave it out there for 3 days. Then you can cut it into small pieces and storage it in an open container. After 5-6 weeks you can feed it and it will be save for your pets. Thats actually how hay is made as well. Easy :) Right now the German bunny community is already drying to stock up for the winter lol I didn't know you where aware of botanical medicine for animals. I thought it isn't that known in America since I have never seen a KZbinr talk about it or really purposely including it it into their pets diet. Also on Instagram I often get questions about it when I mention it. In general I try to offer a big variety of these plants, but since one of my bunnies has an dental infection that the vet cannot treat anymore (surgery sadly would kill him) I focus a lot on plants that have the effect to be anti-inflammatory. So far he's doing great 😊

Burgess pellets also have pretty decent protein content.

Every thing I trim I feed to Miss Dot by hand, and let's just say she's always glad to see me! 😂

[@collidingforces9589]

Great information. Thank you.

[@meepbeep3828]

I love this video! For the first time I have my Campbell Dwarf hamster mealworms and she loves them so much that she hunts for them! ❤️🐹

[@VictoriaRaechel]

Thank you!! Aw love that!

[@mochiyukoichi2756]

I’m going to go get my hamster mealworms now!

[@meepbeep3828]

It's honestly so funny watching her hunt for them, she goes all around her cage sniffy and digging for them!

[@sasbang8717]

Is it ok to feed my hamster fresh veggies and fruit and there seed mix instead of two seed mixes

[@user-sx5me8qu5s]

Yes, you should! Almost all fruits and veggies are good for them. You can look up which ones are bad - avocado, onions, iceberg lettuce etc. Mix that up with seeds. You could also give them meal worms.

[@sasbang8717]

Ok thank you!!

[@oopoop4299]

yes of course. just dont give to much fruit

[@teresedaigle7336]

Only if everything gives enough protein

[@nela8466]

Fruit is more of a treat though. Maybe some vegetables?

[@timeturtletube5468]

Thank you for the video I didn’t know about this because of you my hamster is a lot happier

[@alyssamarie3762]

I use the Kaytee food from the wild nature's foraging blend. I was only doing pellets but I switched it up.

[@stephanieguy7941]

Thank you for this Information I didn’t know this only just had my hamster

[@katelenashby6536]

This vid help me 100% because I’ve literally been searching for 2 years for a good diet for a hamster and I kept looking and I got so confused till I watched this vid

[@VictoriaRaechel]

Glad it could help!

I used to breed hammies back in the day & my feed mix looked exactly like yours except that I mixed the herbs in. If I couldn't find dried veggies at the pet store I bought them in the soup aisle of my health food store (dried veggies only, not with any broth material in it). I would supplement with limited fresh fruit & veg so as not to cause wet tail or diarrhea. I wanted to caution when providing fresh food that hamsters are hoarders & will bring their food stash back to their den to unload. Fresh food has a certain moisture content & if food is left uneaten (usually by over feeding them) it rots & that is very unhealthy for rodents. Best to limit the fresh food & check all dens periodically for mold. I had one Syrian who always hoarded his fresh food so I fed him dried fruits & veg. He loved the dried strawberries. Broccoli is the only fresh food he got as he usually gobbled it down. Also, proteins weren't readily available where I live so I would substitute scrambled eggs & good quality cheese (no Velveeta plz) They loved it.

Another brilliant share that’s helping me be a great hamster momma

Great video, Victoria, thank you. I was wondering where/how you get your Mazuri blocks? I remember you are in Cananda like me and for the life of me I cannot find any to purchase or ship to Alberta. For now I am using the Sunseed Critter Cubes (which I read on Hamster Hideout are a decent alternate option). I find it weird that my local independent pet store carries a bunch of other Mazuri products but not that one. At least they carry Higgins Sunburst.

[@Cora.3]

You helped me with evrything!!!! I thank you soo much my hamster is super healthy

I’m going to get a hamster in the near future and the diets are so confusing and I want to give my hamster the best life, and your videos are so helpful! I just have hard times understanding the diets so I’m really scared to get the wrong thing :((

[@noa4377]

I have 2 hamsters one passed away and one i still have, i have watched your videos for a while and they really help i have this small cage but because of you i took time to build my own ikea hamster cage. I also bought so many new things and bought the things you suggest. You have been a big help and i want to say thank you because i realized that my hamster is very happy where he is living, and what he is eating. Thank you so much! Also can you please post a video on what hamster products are safe, and what are not because i am always scared to buy the wrong thing lol

[@VictoriaRaechel]

I'm glad my videos have been able to help you, I actually have a video on the unsafe hamster products kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYq3kmmmi9amadE

[@ScousePets]

I feed my hamster a mix of harry hamster,mr Johnson hamster and gerbil food and the science selective blocks then I add some additional things such as dried pasta some dried herbs meal worms oats and a commercial human seed mix which contains flax seeds and other healthy seeds

[@chaseirvine6694]

My parents said if I can figure out what the price would be per month for hamsters that I can get one these videos have been an amazing help

[@thedogloveronyoutube4107]

You are THE best Victoria. You are soo smart

[@rockysanimals2778]

I mixed 3 different commercial foods, 3 herb mixes and mealworms to create my diet. It wasn’t cheap but I’m really happy with it! The GA is 18.19% protein, 6.13% fat and 9.2% fibre. I do want to up the fibre and lower the fat but I work on that with time! :)
