Hamster diet

21 11:52:31

Question
My hamsters don't seem to eat/like the small particles of food found in the vita vittles. My cousin suggested i change their diet to this kind of food that are big clumps of food so they won't waste anything. Should i do that or stick with my old food for my hamsters?

Answer
hamsters can be very picky and they may not eat all of the food. Figure out what they are eating in their and look for a food that contains mostly those pieces. My hamster likes the small pieces in his food and hates the bigger pieces so i buy food with mostly small pieces. If your hamster likes big pieces buy food with bigger chunks in it.
