-Food & Water

Food & Water:
As there are many different types of hamsters favourites of foods can very, but there are certain basics to give your hamster. The best way to find out what your hamster will like is to test it.



As with the guinea pig the best source of water for a hamster is through a sippy bottle, the things you hang from the side of the cage. You should make sure that this always has plenty of water in it, and that the water is fresh, because no animal wants dirty water if they can help it.



Now for food, hamsters like almost all green vegetables and almost every other type of vegetable for that matter, carrots, celery, and plenty more. They will also enjoy fruits but not anything sour like oranges lemons limes or believe it or not apples, nothing like that.



You should make sure to provide your hamster hard foods to chew on because like all rodents they have continuously growing teeth that need to be gnawed down.



Hamsters in the wild would eat things like grasses, wind blown seeds, and grain, many people think hamsters are herbivores but they are actually omnivores, they need protein in there natural habitat they would find things like grubs.



For what you should feed them in there cage other then the vegetables you should go to your pet store find some pellets and hay but make sure your buying the best and that there is plenty of protein in them.



You should almost always have fresh food in the hamsters food bowl but not a lot at a time as hamsters do not eat that much but they will rarely over eat.



Make sure to clean the food and water bottle every day.
