Aperçu des Besoins Nutritionnels

Hamsters are omnivores that hoard food in their cheek pouches. They need a balanced base diet of seeds or pellets supplemented with small amounts of fresh vegetables and occasional protein like mealworms or boiled egg. Dwarf hamsters are prone to diabetes, so sugar intake must be limited.

Questions Fréquemment Posées

Should I feed my hamster a seed mix or pellets?▼

Both can work. Pellets prevent selective eating (hamsters pick out favorites and leave nutrients behind), but a quality seed mix is more enriching. Many owners use a mix of both.

Can dwarf hamsters eat fruit?▼

Dwarf hamsters (Campbell's and Winter White) are very prone to diabetes. Avoid sugary fruits entirely for dwarf species. Syrian hamsters can have tiny amounts of fruit as occasional treats.

Why does my hamster stuff its cheeks?▼

Cheek pouching is a natural hoarding behavior. Hamsters carry food to hidden stashes in their bedding. This is normal, but avoid feeding sticky foods that can get stuck in the pouches and cause infection.
