What do you feed hamsters?

Answer 1

From your local pet store, you can buy hamster food. The best ones to buy are the mix of a variety of different foods for your pet. Also, hamsters will eat almost everything. Fresh food, such as carrots, apple and other fruit or vegetables, are very good for hamsters.

Don't forget to give your hamster a treat occasionally! Sometimes, about once week at the most, you can give your hamster a treat. This includes:

-Hamster treats from a pet store.

-Perhaps some human food like cornflakes. (I have a hamster and he loves cornflakes!)

-ETC

So, to conclude, the best things to feed a hamster are:

-Hamster food from a pet store.

-Vegetables or fruit.

--The occasional treat.

At the store you can buy pelets to feed your hamsters. You can also give them veggies as treats. The love hard ones. Make sure you only give them fruits and veggies though, and not to many because it can make them sick. Regularly give them pellets. Hard foods are best for their teeth.
A pelllet mix from your local pet shop should do along with some fresh fruit and vegetable scraps from your table. They do not need to be overfed and be careful when feeding them fresh grass.

... A rat will eat pretty much anything it can get its hands on including,

• Garbage

• Or even sneak into peoples home without notice

Answer 4

Wild Rats are opportunists and will devour almost anything they come across. However if you are talking about Pet Rats then that's a different story.

Pet Rats only have a short lifespan, 1 and a half to 2/3 years so you should make the most of their short lives and give them a healthy balanced diet to keep them living as long as they can. I feed my rats a mixture of Rat Nuggets and Rat Muesli. Both are individually intended by the manufactures to be a "complete" feed but i like my rats to have a balance and variety so i give a little bit of both.

You should give pet rats fresh fruit or vegetables every day, in small portions. Other treats, like dried fruit, pasta or store bought treats should be saved for special occasions or when you are training your pet. n_n
