The hamster feed should be based on the natural eating habits of the animals. It is not only the right ingredients that matter, but also their combination. A high cereal content covers the animals’ energy needs, while mealworms and gammarus provide animal proteins that are indispensable for the well-being of the small animals. In addition, the hamster feed should contain sufficient vitamins and trace elements, as they strengthen the body’s defences in these rather sensitive animals. Linseed oil provides essential fatty acids, regulates the metabolism and maintains a shiny coat.
