Hamster is a cute pet with a very cute appearance and a very small body. It is precisely because the hamster’s body shape is very small, so the hamster’s physique is not very good. And the life span is very short. Generally, it can only survive for 1 ~ 2 years. Therefore, as the owners of hamsters, we must pay great attention to the usual diet of hamsters. We should try our best to improve the physique of hamsters through their diet and make them live longer. So what food do hamsters eat in their daily life?
Hamsters are omnivorous animals. Hamsters can eat fresh fruits, vegetables or rhizome fruits and vegetables. Therefore, there are not many requirements for the choice of these ingredients. Only when feeding hamsters, be sure to eat an appropriate amount, not too much. If hamsters eat too much, it will lead to diarrhea. If hamster diarrhea is serious, it will lead to hamster death. Many people have a misconception that hamsters can’t drink water. In fact, the water contained in fruits and vegetables can already meet the daily water needs of hamsters, so under normal circumstances, if you drink more water to hamsters, hamsters will have diarrhea.
If possible, we can give hamsters some high protein foods such as nuts and sheep milk powder in our daily life. These foods are very nutritious for hamsters. However, we should also follow the principle of appropriate amount, and we should not give hamsters too much. These high protein foods, if eaten too much, will cause hamsters to get fat. Although the fat hamster looks very cute, it is actually very unhealthy for the hamster itself. Moreover, hamsters after getting fat are very prone to heatstroke in summer, which is very harmful to their health.
If the hamster raised at home is going through the gestation period or is unwell, we should prepare a lot of water for the hamster. Otherwise, hamsters can easily die of thirst. However, the water we drink to hamsters must be drinking water, not raw water. Raw water will disorder the gastrointestinal function of hamsters and lead to diarrhea.
