Hamster Food: grains as the basis for nocturnal pets
Hamsters are loners and active at dusk and during the night. Their food consists mainly of a grain mix of seeds and cereals, rounded off with small amounts of fresh greens. Because the teeth keep growing throughout life, your hamster also needs something to gnaw on. You will find hamster food here as well as rodent grass to grow yourself for fresh greenery all year round.
Feeding and the daily rhythm
Give the ration in the early evening, when your hamster becomes active. Golden hamsters live alone, so the amount always relates to one animal. Hamsters carry food into their store and build up little depots there, which is part of their natural behaviour. Check the hiding place regularly and take out anything perishable such as vegetables, while dry grains can stay. A quiet spot free of draughts helps your animal sleep properly during the day, away from the television and busy doorways.
Extras, gnawing and water
Small amounts of fresh greens, a piece of vegetable or a herb snack bring variety. Introduce anything new slowly and watch how it is tolerated. Gnawing material in willow, grass or untreated wood makes sure the teeth wear down. Fresh water has to be there at all times, ideally from a drinking bottle that stays free of bedding. Store the food dry and closed so the seeds keep their aroma. A fixed feeding spot in the cage gives your hamster structure and makes it easier for you to spot leftovers and take them out in good time.
Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to feed my hamster?
In the early evening, when he becomes active. He then takes the food straight away and carries the rest into his store.
May I clear out the food store?
Only take out perishable items such as vegetables. Your hamster may keep dry grains, because building depots is completely normal.
Does my hamster need fresh greens?
Small amounts are a good addition. Introduce new kinds slowly and only ever add one kind at a time.
Grains, seeds and a rhythm that suits the hamster
Hamsters only wake up properly once the room goes quiet. Their food is therefore geared to the evening and consists first of all of a mix of seeds and cereals. Golden hamsters live alone, so the amount always relates to one animal. The fact that your hamster carries part of the ration into his store is completely normal. Check the hiding place now and then and only take out anything perishable. Small portions of fresh greens bring variety, and rodent grass to grow yourself supplies greenery in winter too. Gnawing material and fresh water always belong with it, every day. A fixed feeding spot gives your hamster structure and you spot leftovers faster. A quiet corner free of draughts also helps him rest properly during the daytime.
