Erm...habitrail food..... not really a recommended one....

I don think giving sunflower seeds/corn as part of the main diet is a good diet.. giving as treats would be better...

If you check on the ingredients, u can see some of them contains beetroot, parsley, barley, omega3, wheat germ and etc.. I personally don favors those seeds and nuts too much, becoz it's so high in fat and phos... i only give my Hermes one two nuts as treats everyday..

Fresh fruits/vege is part of their daily diet, but the amount has to be monitored becoz too much may cause diarrhea..and nid to avoid giving too much sweet fruits too~~~

since she said the hamster is only eating fresh food,I guess the ghamster already hot enough moisture..

chubby?? u nid to differentiate is mealworms or superworms oh...

sad..yana didnt thank me.. hahahahaha...

photoshop!!

so u didnt feed any insects???

Ya.. we always suggest to give balanced diet, this apply on all animals. And fits into their natural behaviour though..

Feeding insects is part of the protein source. They gain protein from fresh fruits as well~

Actually feeding live insects giving more fun to the animal also.. It's like fulfilling their instinct to capture and eat..

It's would be kinda bored if every meal is hard pellet...

Dog kibbles kinda high in fat eh...

hahaha...last time i also so so so afraid of mealies... hav to use twizzer to pick it up and feed...Now jus grab with hands, coz all my pets nid to eat mealies everyday... If i use twizzer,dono nid to feed for how many hours..haha..

For fulfilling nutrients that gain from insects, i think Bugsy Small Carnivore Food is a good choice. Kinda complete with different types of insects on different stages.. Better than dog cat food.. Can give it a try~~ I feed my hammie too..

my god.....i really don dare to take superworms yet..... terrible..

ya..they r cute..

cheapest brand might contains higher preservative oh..

ya...some dog and cat kibbles contain garlic~~

I don breed mealies la..so troublesome...jus buy and gut load then feed~ 5bucks can last few weeks~~

As for protein and nutrient wise, i let hermes absorb from carnivore food and also fruits/vegetables...

Mealies, as i said jus now..is jus something fun for him... to capture and also satisfy their nature instinct.

Sharkie, i always heard ppl says the pet will follow the owner behaviour...erm erm..is it u also sleep eat sleep eat....ehehehhe....
