    Go to a Pet Shop and buy food especially for Hamsters. They need certain vitamins you can put in their water, certain foods, and wood toys (non-toxic) to keep their teeth filed. Ask if any of the clerks are knowledgeable about Hamsters.

    P.S. They make great pets and are very clean.

    Super duper premium hamster chow, of course.

    I think they also enjoy a bit of fresh fruit or veggie each day. And I've heard they prefer organic. ;)
    Hmmmm . . . does this quality as "Super duper premium", or is Purina on the "no no" list. :@

    Snakes like hamsters? :h I know they like birds, but I'm not sure if it's because they eat sunflower seeds like hamsters or not. :?

  • Sunflower seeds? So basically, you just feed them like wild birds. :@ We feed the birds, and sunflower seeds are the most popular, with thistle being second. Do hamsters eat thistle seed. :@
  • When I was say 50 years younger, I fed my hamster sunflower seeds. Lived a good while until he chewed his way out of the wooden cage (yeah I know a bad idea) and my mom's cats got him.
