What do you feed your hamster...

[Jess19]

i give mine Nutirphase, And we also got some little carrot stick snacks.
What other foods can you give them? I know unsalted crackers and all that but whay does you lil guy like and prefer?....

my old hammy (he passed on he was 5 years old OLD LOL) but he loved lettuce and a little pic of shredded apple

[animalmagic]

5 years old? That's kinda hard to believe!

Mine likes teeny pieces of apple and carrot. The occasional raisin.. naughty! And he eats regular hamster pellets..!

[animalmagic]

Oh and also apparently people give them plain unflavoured dog biscuits (like milk bones) so I tried that and he loved it! Kept him going for days. Good for their teeth. :)

well i got him from a petstore and i had him for 4 years dont u think he was about 1 when i got him

^ that doesn't surprise me. i had a gerbil who lived to be 5 years and 1 month.

[animalmagic]

[Shihtzulover12]

[dwankrista]

what a cute ham! however, ham + parakeet = not a good combination

[Shihtzulover12]

thanks and i didnt keep them togather all the time i made sure they were friendly they loved each other they were best of friends lol !

[dwankrista]

well, syrians, being solitary animals, aren't ever best friends with anything but themselves. lol be careful, because one quick move could prove fatal for either animal and it's often much faster than you can do anything to prevent it.

[Shihtzulover12]

hes a teddyy bear hamster and i know lol i dont do that anymore anyways

[PetLuver21257]

I fed my hamster(s) Fiesta hamster and gerbil food, lab blocks, yogurt drops, carrots, apples, oatmeal, cheerios, banana, celery, strawberries, and walnuts! :D

[animalmagic]

Syrian = teddy bear = panda bear.. all basically Syrians. Just different colours and stuff lol.

He was a cutie. :D

[Shihtzulover12]
