Your hamster spends a lot of her time in her enclosure. While this may be an area you strive to keep nice, it isn’t a place where she can track down her own food. What should you offer her to eat?

Your hamster needs you to be mindful of what she is eating and how much she is being offered. It can be very easy for pets like this to become overweight, so you will need to make sure you are offering a healthy diet in appropriate portions. This will likely include a commercial mix packed with nutrient dense ingredients, along with some nuts and seeds. Fresh produce is also a component of a hamster’s diet, so talk to your pet’s veterinarian to determine which types will be ideal for your little fur ball. For additional information, please contact your local Marietta, GA veterinarian.
